A bus pulls up, the doors open, and your student has about ten seconds to decide whether this is the right ride. The driver is waiting, and so is everyone in line.
Most independent living materials answer that moment four separate times, once for the city bus, once for light rail, once for the subway, once for the commuter train. This workbook answers it once. The line, the destination and the direction are the same three reads on all four, and what changes is only where they are printed. A side-by-side comparison shows exactly where to look on each one.
How to Ride Public Transportation runs to 28 pages for grades 9 to 12, adult education, and college and trade programs. It names no transit agency anywhere, because fares and route numbers differ in every city, so it teaches the shape of the system and sends the student out to learn how the local one works. It is as usable in Atlanta as it is in Sacramento.
One section covers what to do when the plan fails: the ride is late, the direction is wrong, the stop is behind you, the card is refused, the last train has gone. Every answer key gives the reason and not only the answer, so a student working alone can check the work without anyone standing over it.
