I am going to ride a bus today with my dad. I love travelling by bus

Sometimes, buses can be a little noisy. I can remember to keep my headphones on

Buses can be a little crowded. I can find an empty seat and sit there and stay calm

I like sitting on the top deck

There can be many new faces. I can hold my comfort toy or look out the window

When we get to our stop, I can get off with my dad

When I stay calm in the bus, it makes my dad proud of me

Well done
