  • There are rear ...

    There are rear engined school buses, but front engined school buses are the most affordable. Many school districts are funded by a property tax levy. Poperty owners finance the local school system which includes transportation costs. The bigger the budget, the higher the tax rate. In larger cities, the money is taken out of the city budget. Also, private companies operate school buses as well. Some districts choose to hire these companies. The companies also want low cost buses.

  • is there a specific ...

    is there a specific reson or is it just a tradition? (i have never seen them in use for "normal" service as coaches or town buses) and also, you write that front engined buses are fine for rural or suburban areas, but i always imagined these busses operateing in urban areas, are there also other bustypes for use in the cities? however, thanks again for answering and have a happy new year

  • hi luzern76, thanks ...

    hi luzern76, thanks for answering, im happy someone did. i took a look at those mirrors you mentioned, i guess i was wrong, you realy can see a lot. but still i am wondering, why the rest of the world uses rear engined busses (od mid engined) and american schoolbuses use front engines?

  • danilesmithers, ...

    danilesmithers,

    You can see the mirrors from 5:21-5:25, and at 4:13. Also, front engined buses are fine for rural or suburban areas. Transit style (flat front buses) that you refer to are better for city driving.

    Watch the film again and look for the cross-view mirrors. Children and other pedestrians can be see at all angles with those mirrors.

    Actually, you're wrong. She's not going to get an education, which discounts her as a productive person in our society. Bus drivers are high school dropouts or people who can't speak English.

  • Just because she ...

    Just because she was interested in School Buses doesn't mean she was "beaten as a Baby" or "Stupid". Have you not been reading all of the other comments? Obviously you all are interested because, you not only must have watched the video... but POSTED COMMENTS! So... what's wrong with you? Maybe her Bus Driver is someone she personally looked up to and just happened to be a Bus Driver. When you were kids, or younger didn't you want to do what your "hero" or person you looked up to did?
