Nowadays, school buses are popular in China. Many
students take a school bus to school. It looks like a tourist
bus. The underground and common buses often take
much time. But school buses can save a lot of time. How
do children go to school in other countries?
In the US, yellow school buses are a common way for
children to go to school. Why are the school buses all yellow? Yellow became the
colour of school buses in 1939. American educator Frank Cyr first suggested it. The
colour helped warn other cars: Be careful. Black letters on a yellow bus are also easy
to see in the early morning.
However, there are not many school buses in the UK. Students from public
schools usually take common buses or the underground to school. In Japan, schools
are small in cities. So there is no need to use school buses. Children usually walk to
school.
