Yellow School Bus

The Yellow School Bus Service – not just a vehicle, an institution.

The yellow school bus is more than just a vehicle, it is an integrated school transport system which has the potential to:

  • Reduce congestion – 20% of morning rush hour traffic is attributable to the school run. Reducing that will improve air quality, speed traffic flows and allow public transport to work better.
  • Help our children – by helping to reduce child road accidents, creating a more secure environment for travel and encouraging greater independence from their parents.
  • Help our schools – by creating a climate where children arrive at school in a more disciplined frame of mind and better prepared to start the school day. The scheme also offers an early warning of truancy.
  • Support our parents – by reducing the need for non-essential school run journeys and allowing them to be more flexible in their work arrangements.
  • Support our local authorities – by providing an innovative addition to the local transport planning agenda and offering a low cost solution for education and local transport needs.
