About school buses.....?

Why do school buses stop and open the door at train tracks?

they do that because the school bus is A LOT bigger than a normal car, so if they see a train, it would take them longer to get over the tracks. that's why they check ahead of time so that doesn't happen, especially when there are a lot of kids on the bus.sometimes they might also do that when it is raining or fogging... so they can see because the windows get all clouded up. ~~HoPe ThIs HeLpS~~

safety issues, what if they got hit by a train and all the kids died, better to be careful than sorry

It's the law!

They've got kids on board. They want to be as safe as possible. Not all train crossings have crossing controls, so it's necessary to visually confirm the tracks are clear. Since that is the case, it's just easier to require school buses to stop and look at all tracks. Trucks carrying hazardous materials have to stop, too. Other commercial vehicles have to be prepared to stop and may not shift gears while crossing. It's all about safety.
