The school bus operation regulation of the Motor Transport Act, which deals with the carrying of luggage, equipment and tools (such as band instruments, sports equipment) states "they shall not be carried in the interior of a school bus" unless "they can be stored under the seat, do not block aisles or emergency exits, cannot be dislodged when the brakes of the school bus are applied, during acceleration of the school bus or in the event of an accident involving the school bus".
The driver is responsible for ensuring that items are transported in accordance with this section. As these items cannot be secured, (tubas, trombones, saxophones, french horns, skate boards, skis, hockey sticks, scooters, large hockey bags, and curling brooms, suitcases with wheels, large shop projects etc.) they are not allowed on the bus.
