Transport Minister Ramakant Goswami said drivers will have to wear a uniform of grey trousers and jacket and they must display their identity card visibly while driving the vehicles. The name of the owner of the vehicle must also figure in the card.
He said anybody challaned or charged with offenses like overspeeding, drunken driving or driving dangerously or booked for culpable homicide not amounting to murder will not be allowed to drive a school vehicle.
Further, school buses must display prominently that they are being used for ferrying school children.
Goswami said all the school buses must have folding doors and each vehicle should have a conductor with a valid license.
The bus must carry a copy of the valid agreement with the educational institute and complete list of the school children showing their names, classes, residential addresses and points of embarkation and dis-embarkation.
