Learn why school buses are bright yellow and how it helps keep kids safe.
Okay, little buddy! Do you know why school buses are painted bright yellow? It's because yellow is a color that stands out and is easy to see, just like the sun in the sky!
When you see a yellow school bus, your eyes can spot it much faster than a bus of a darker color. This helps everyone, like cars and other people, see the bus from far away. This is really important because school buses carry children to school and back, and we want to keep everyone safe.
Remembering to look for the bright yellow color can help you know when your bus is coming. So, the next time you see a school bus, you can say, 'Wow, it’s so bright!' and know that it’s made that way on purpose!
