To help Roy get off at the correct bus stop, you could provide him with an identification card that states his name, address, and bus stop number. You would then work with Roy to teach him how to show the card to the bus driver and ask the bus driver to tell him when the bus gets to his stop. This way Roy will be able to ride the bus by himself and will be able to receive a reminder from the driver, regardless of who the driver is on a given day.
