Wouldn’t a school bus from this time just have been a regular bus with the words “SCHOOL BUS” on it? I don’t think the warning lights and folding stop signs existed yet at this time, not sure if they were painted yellow yet either. (Correct me if I’m wrong)
School buses were not required to be painted yellow until 1939, however, one could see yellow school buses before then, as school buses were normally painted in whatever factory color the vehicle was. The color, as well as the dimensions of school buses and the length, were all voted upon in the 1939 School Bus conference, where officials from all of the states went into a room and discussed what a school bus would look like. Prior to this, a school bus would be anything, including horse-drawn carriages. The last major changes to the school bus were in 1977, when the government changed some structural components of school buses, requiring extra rollover protection and protected fuel tanks. It also added requirements for school buses for those with disabilities. So yes, a school bus before 1939 would most likely just be a normal bus with the words "SCHOOL BUS" painted on. --- Post updated --- For example, here is an image of a 1925 Ford TT School Bus
Wow, I am amazed by the rich history of the American school bus! (Especially because where I live there are no designated school buses)
Yes, the United States takes great pride in their school buses! In fact, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) has stated that school buses are one of the safest vehicles on the road, having higher safety requirements than passenger vehicles. In fact, since 2013, only 111 people have died in school buses. The most dangerous part of going to school in the US is getting on to the bus, as children have to cross roads with drivers that sometimes ignore the warnings that school buses have. Here's an article from the NHTSA that talks about school buses: https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/school-bus-safety
The fact we have really good school buses surprises me considering how the US isn't known for public transportation.

Yes, the post you are referring to is from Marc, not catchow. Also, the conversation was already over, making your post irrelevant. Also, on a side note, can you stop posting meaningless things to up your post count? At least almost all of my posts have a meaning, and not just "."
So does anyone agree with my suggestions ? if not i would like to have the reason for that disagreement (no bad with no explinationthat isnt a clear opinion)
