Stop the Yellow School Bus!
Knowing that I'm into buses, a thoughtful colleague at work gave me this toy yellow school bus. It has a small stop sign that flips out, and little doors that open. Made in China, and available at your local toy shop all over the world I'm sure.
I've always wondered though, is North America the only place (in the western world) that school children ride in buses that are generally deemed as not acceptable for the general public?
The typical yellow school bus is uncomfortable to ride in. Its long backside overhang and chassis design make the bus very "bouncy" when going over a bump. In developed Asia and Europe, school children ride in normal buses just like their older counterparts.
