PCSO Jo Robotham said: “The scheme aims to promote safety on the bus and encourage young people to take responsibility for their safety and behaviour.
“The scheme also provides us with the opportunity to engage with local young people.”
At the end of the pilot scheme, bus drivers and customers will be asked whether they think it has reduced any difficulties and improved bus safety.
