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 color of school buses in the USA in
1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow
buses and the black 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 let parents know
where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids.
It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love
their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses
can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some
parents want to take them, 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.
