On the first day of the new term in 2012, thousands of students in Chongming County in Shanghai rode the new school buses to school. The buses are yellow with huge bonnets(发动机罩盖) in the front. Students call them “big nose” school buses.

The local government spent 6 million yuan buying 17 new school buses for the primary and middle schools in the county to make sure the safety of more than 1,000 students who live in rural areas. Ordinary buses couldn’t arrive there easily.

And drivers of the new school buses must have at least three years of driving experience and a 100,000- kilometer safe driving record.

In December 2011 , a school bus overturned and fell into a ditch in Jiangsu Province, killing 15. the accident made us care about the school bus safety. China is making its school bus safety management system now. and every seat must have a seat belt by 2013.
