In the US, yellow school buses are a common way for children to get to school. There are about 480, 000 school buses in the country. But why are the school buses all yellow? Yellow became the color of school buses in 1939. American educator (教育家) Frank W.Cyr first suggested (建议) it. The color on the buses helped warn other cars: be careful. Black letters (字母) 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. So there is no need to use school buses. Students there usually walk to school.
