Registration

Frequently asked questions about registration.

How can I register my child for the Walking Bus?

Do I need to register my child for every day of the week?

No, you can choose the days that best suit your schedule and your child's needs. You can register your child as often as you want, which makes for greater flexibility. You can also register your child during the school year.

Chaperones sign a service agreement for one year. The contract is renewed at the end of every school year.

You can also sign up as a chaperone during the school year, in which case the term specified in the contract will be adjusted accordingly.

Are chaperones paid?

Chaperones are paid €20 per hour.

During the Walking Bus journey

Frequently asked questions about Walking Bus journeys and children's safety.

How do chaperones make sure that children are safe at all times?

All Walking Bus chaperones must attend a half-day training course run by the Grand Ducal Police. They are very familiar with road safety rules, and wear high-visibility vests.

Does my child need to wear any special clothing?

We recommend that children wear clothing that is appropriate to the weather (waterproof jacket, close-fitting knit cap in cold weather, etc.). Chaperones wear high-visibility vests to ensure the safety of the group.

How can I recognise a Walking Bus stop?

All Walking Bus stops display a sign bearing the Walking Bus logo.
