I created a map of a school bus, labeling the bus windows with student passengers and an adult driver. I generated the map using Microsoft word, arrows, multiple colors, as well as various google images. I decided to create a vague map with an obvious bias since it’s from my personal point of view.

The Interesting Bus Ride Home When most people think about an eventful or memorable place, they almost certainly would not picture a bus. As we all know, buses are not exactly attractive.

There I was, in mid August, on the humid, old fashioned bus. In the heart of Nicaragua, where you pass nothing but rundown houses, small huts and shacks that fit anywhere from five to fifteen people. Dozens of people wandered the side of the road, searching for a place to stay. Poverty was everywhere, and it broke my heart. Seeing little kids roaming freely, with little to no clothes and no parents in sight. It was the crack of dawn and I knew I had a busy day ahead. I was surrounded by high schoolers

In the late 1920’s, school buses and larger industrial vehicles became a popular source of transportation that started from Ford dealership owner, A.L. Luce. Luce had plans to extend the school bus frame (from a Model T) to accompany more students per one bus.

For some unorganized students, the struggle of being at the bus stop before the sun rises and riding the bus for what may seem like forever is crushing, and staying silent on it is a burden.

Students on school buses have a tendency to hop from seat to seat when the bus in in movement. That is a dissection to
people on the roads. It has been maintained that, you shouldn’t have to wear a seatbelt on the bus.
