School Buses

Why are school buses yellow?

Back in 1939, Frank W. Cyr championed a campaign to transportation officials, school bus manufacturers, and education staff to create a guideline of why buses should be yellow. This conference took 7 days and at the end the transportation officials came up with the school bus construction guidelines with the rule that school buses need to be yellow. The reason being, this color is distinguishable in all forms of weather making it the safest color for moving vehicles.

How long are school buses?

How many seats are on a school bus?

Bus seats are a crucial part of the school bus transport system, and many people wonder how many seats there are on a school bus. It’s an important question to answer because it helps parents, children, and other passengers know what to expect when they board the bus. The number of seats in a school bus can vary slightly, but most of them will have between 60 – 72 seats, while the largest school buses can carry up to 90 people.

How far can a school bus drive?

School buses tend to run shorter routes in general and stay local. The reason being is that these buses do not come equipped with all the amenities that longer trips require. Only certain school buses will have A/C and restroom facilities do not come on school buses. You can understand how this would not be ideal for a long trip. As an example, if you were to travel hours away from your school you can expect to make too many stops which could lead to delays, and no A/C would be too uncomfortable. A good rule of thumb for school bus travel is to stay within 100-150 miles for your trip.

Can you bring luggage on a school bus?

It depends. Most school buses do not have large storage spaces and will not be able to accommodate your luggage. If you had some empty seats, you could store gear on them or under the seats, but generally there are no designated luggage spaces on these buses. However, some schools may have a separate bus with designated storage space for students who need to bring large amounts of luggage or equipment. You should check with your reservations specialist before making any plans to bring luggage on a school bus.
