- A riding school bus is a group of schoolchildren supervised by one or more adults, riding bicycles along a set route, picking children up at their homes along the way until they all arrive at school. Riding school buses are similar to walking bus or bike bus programs. Like a traditional bus, riding school buses (also known as RSBs) have a fixed route with designated "bus stops" and "pick up times" in which they pick up children. Ideally the riding school bus will include at least 1 adult ‘driver’, who leads the group, and an adult ‘conductor' who supervises from the end of the group. Riding school bus programs have been developed in a number of local councils in Victoria, Australia, including City of Moreland and Shire of East Gippsland Riding school bus programs deliver a number of benefits:
* Improvement in child fitness and health
* Environmental benefits - reduction in car trips and associated air pollution
* Development of traffic skills and confidence in children
* Socialization and increased community engagement for children
* Reduction of traffic congestion around schools Riding school buses are also known as pedal pods or Cycling School Buses (en)
