School bus

I left Novi High School on a bright yellow school bus full of student council members. We passed large houses with gorgeous manicured lawns, and multiple cars in each driveway. I looked down to send a text to my friend, and before I knew it, the bus looked like it was in a whole different world. Everywhere I looked I saw abandoned houses covered in graffiti so thick you coundn’t see the brick. Boarded up buildings and neighborhood streets with houses so packed together you could reach out and touch

In the late 1920’s, school buses and larger industrial vehicles became a popular source of transportation that started from Ford dealership owner, A.L. Luce. Luce had plans to extend the school bus frame (from a Model T) to accompany more students per one bus. As school buses and city buses became more common throughout America’s cities for daily transportation, safety regulations and precautions were put in place. Safety features, including flashing caution lights, visors outside of the vehicle

But this project of sending information to the parents whose children were absent from the school through GSM in the form of SMS will give an easy, low cost and automatic solution. This project presents a system to monitor pickup of school children to enhance the safety of children during the daily transportation to school. The system consists of two main units, a bus unit and a school unit. The bus unit system is used to detect when a child boards the bus. This information

discontinued the 347 bus route which went from Britomart, through Onehunga and Mangere to Manukau and back again. This discontinuation turns my one-bus commute home into a three-bus or one-train-and-a-three-point-two-kilometre trek from the CBD to Papatoetoe. It was a very inconvenient and, in my case, expensive bus death. The demise of the 347 route reminded me of the two thousand or so times that I sat on that bus. My first time on a public bus was my second day of high school. My older sister walked

This book is a companion to The Magic School Bus Inside the Human Body and describes various aspects of the human body. It presents the information that is factual in order to differentiate the nonfiction from the fantasy of the original book. In this lesson, I would have the students sort the information into a chart. I would explain to the students that each page of the book is organized into facts, explanations, and general information. I would ask the students to see if they can discover how

may select school buses provided by the government. Most students try to take the buses by the government while others use other forms of transportation. Since the school buses offer a safer option a cost-effective and usually punctual, there is entirely no doubt that the American cities should make it mandatory for all students to use the school buses provided by the government. Firstly, school buses uniquely considered a safer option for school children, since many trains and public bus operators

An estimated 480,000 school buses are in use every day in the US. About 95% of these buses (456,000) are using diesel fuel, using 822,857,143 gallons per year, which produces 95,000 tons of smog. This smog is not only incredibly damaging to the environment, but has cancer causing effects on the children the buses are transporting. Diesel exhaust has been proven to cause lung cancer, damage eyes and increse symptoms of illnesses such as asthma and heart disease. Not only that, but the fuels affect

Why don’t school buses have them? The short answer is that small school buses do in fact require seat belts; large school buses, with a few exceptions do not. Seat belts are not required on the larger school buses because both the U.S. Department of Transportation and Transport Canada, have determined that compartmentalization is the preferred occupant protection system. To explain these differences in a greater detail we begin as follows; a small bus is categorized as a bus under 10,000lbs

matter of seconds before I heard the insignificant sound that marked the start of my day. “Tsss,” hissed the brakes as the bus came to a complete stop in front of the waiting crowd and the driver opened its doors to allow passengers to get on. I hopped on as adults and students alike fought for a place on the vehicle that would take them closer to their destination. As the bus started to move, I stared out the window and watched as the buildings slowly passed by, creating a mental list of the establishments
