​First Rider Program set for Kincardine and Port Elgin

The Association of Grey-Bruce Bus Operators looks forward to welcoming young students and their families to the 2025–26 First Rider Program.

This free program helps kids (especially first-time riders) and their parents/guardians learn about school buses and bus safety in a fun, hands-on way. You’ll review safety rules, explore a real bus, and have the chance to ask any questions before the school year begins.

Before you attend, you are invited to watch the short Buzzy Bee Bus Safety Video to see what’s expected when riding the bus and how to stay safe.

No registration needed — just drop in!
