Guarulhos case reinforces end-of-route passenger checks
A five-year-old child was left in a school van and managed to get out; the episode reinforces the need for individual passenger checks.
What happened
Rádio Bandeirantes reported in April on a five-year-old child who was left alone in a school van in Guarulhos after the morning trip. The child was not injured, but the episode again drew attention to failures in drop-off and end-of-route checks.
What this means for drivers
The risk is not solved by a single reminder at the end of the trip. Passenger checks need to be part of the process: who boarded, who got off and whether anyone is still marked as on board before the route is closed.
What is worth checking
- Before changing your operation, confirm whether the information applies to your city, service type and local rules.
- Record times, route changes and occurrences that may explain delays.
- Avoid making operational decisions based only on headlines or national figures.
