bus has stopped for the purpose of receiving or discharging any school child, will
exhibit a flashing red light plainly visible at such a distance as will enable the
driver of a vehicle approaching or overtaking the bus to see the red light in sufficient

lights and any other equipment, including a crossing control arm, installed on the
bus for the safety of passengers. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to apply to any motorbus when carrying
passengers for hire over any street or road and accepting and discharging indiscriminately
such persons as may offer themselves for transportation either at the termini or points
