Thomas Tolkamp made the bike bus. It’s interesting for kids to ride the bus together to go to school. Also, it’s very safe. The bike bus has a driver and eleven chairs for kids. There is also a roof on the bus. It makes kids comfortable on hot days or rainy days. Riding the bike bus is a great way for children to get to school. Kids can learn about the streets and the city very well. For most parents, it can help them save a lot of time, because they only have to drive their children home after school.

It is nothing new to see those big yellow buses driving around. However, school buses were unusual in the past. In 1886, the first school transportation (交通工具) came into use, but it was called a “school hack”. It was a kind of horse-drawn carriage (四轮马车) and did not look like a bus. Between 1900 and 1930, the horse-drawn carriages became wooden (木质的) buses. Finally, in 1930, wooden buses became metal (金属的) ones. Now the school bus wears a special colour—yellow. Many people ask why it’s yellow. The answer is to make people notice the bus. People can easily see this colour on the road, especially on rainy days. By making the school buses the yellow colour, people can see these buses on the road more easily to make students much safer. Today, for many students, taking the school bus is their first choice of transportation.
