What should the driver do with items passengers leave behind on the bus?

During the end-of-route walk-through the driver looks for and collects items left behind by passengers. These lost articles should be handled according to the carrier's lost-and-found procedures — typically turned in at the terminal or to a supervisor — rather than kept or discarded. The walk-through that finds lost items is the same inspection that checks for sleeping passengers and damage, so it serves several safety and service purposes at once. Properly handling passengers' property is part of professional passenger service.
