Students' yellow ride
A school bus is a vehicle, usually a bus or van, that transports students to and from school.
In North America, school buses are painted a distinctive yellow-orange color and equipped with flashing lights to stop traffic when children board or exit.
The school bus picks up at 7:15.
The term sometimes describes the color itself: school-bus yellow.
