Street #14: Bus Stop

After school the busses all line up in the circular drive in front of the school...ready to take the students back home.

Nice shot of school buses. We know about them from our early days. Yours are always yellow. Why?

@anden According to the internet: "In April 1939, Dr. Frank W. Cyr, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York organized a conference that established national school-bus construction standards for the U.S., including the standard color of yellow for the school bus. ... The color was selected because black lettering on that hue was easiest to see in the semi-darkness of early morning."
