A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the colour of school buses in die USA in 1939, Dr Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the blade letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers inform parents where die school bus is and whether their kids are an the bus.
Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It’s the first time that they go away from their parents. To make kids love their schools, the Japanese kindergartens and schools have buses. The buses can easily make children want to want to take them to school too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. It’s said that there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Chongqing.
