Traveling by public transport carries a certain risk. It is almost impossible to take into account all the factors that can affect the safety of a trip in an ordinary city bus, but you must always be ready, if necessary, to act competently in an unforeseen situation that poses a threat to the life or health of passengers. For example, getting off an emergency bus can sometimes require knowing how to open the door.

Instructions
Step 1
In the event of an emergency inside the passenger compartment, ask the driver to stop the vehicle and open the passenger door. The driver has the ability to quickly activate the standard door opening mechanism from his workplace. This measure is triggered, for example, when smoke or fire occurs in the bus.
Step 2
If the described method is not possible to apply (for example, you are on the back deck in a crowded cabin), try to open the door yourself. Examine the space adjacent to the door from the inside of the bus. As a rule, somewhere in the immediate vicinity of the exit there is a button or lever for emergency door opening. Most often, the door control is located above the door on the right side.
Step 3
Turn on the emergency door opening button, having previously released it from the protective film. Sometimes the button is recessed to prevent accidental or malicious pressing.
Step 4
If there is a lever instead of the button, release it from the seal by tearing off the wire through which the device is sealed. Turn the lever in the direction of the arrow.
Step 5
If you are not a passenger and you are outside a parked bus in an emergency, use the outside emergency door opener buttons. They are located on the side of the vehicle in the immediate vicinity of each entrance.
Step 6
To open the service flap of the front door from the outside of the bus, find and press the electric control button located under the front bumper of the vehicle.
Step 7
If there is no real possibility of emergency opening of the bus door from the inside, use the emergency exit. For this, the windows of the passenger compartment are usually adapted, having the corresponding inscriptions. Pull out the seal cord by pulling on the metal ring. Squeeze out the released glass with your hands or with a kick.
