School Buses

Send us Fan MailWe’ve all heard the stories: “Back in my day, we walked five miles to school, uphill both ways… in the snow… even in the summer!” But before heated seats and Wi-Fi, school transportation had a much more rugged journey—and on this episode of Info On The Go, we’re hopping on board to explore it.From humble horse-drawn "kid hacks" trundling down dusty roads to sleek electric buses quietly gliding through neighborhoods, school buses have come a long way. We’ll take you back to 1892 when Wayne Works introduced the first purpose-built school car, through the steel-bodied revolution of the 1920s and 30s, and into the safety-conscious upgrades of the 1970s—hello, flashing stop arms and high-backed seats!You'll hear how the iconic yellow hue became the safety gold standard, how the 1990s brought inclusive design thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act, and how today’s electric buses are changing the game with zero emissions and even feeding power back to the grid.And because we never stop asking great questions: why are school buses yellow here but orange in Israel or shaped like Hello Kitty in Japan? We’ve got the answers.This ride is packed with history, innovation, and more than a few “wait, really?!” moments. Buckle up—because school transportation isn’t just about getting from point A to B. It’s about building a better, safer, more accessible future for every student. Thank You for listening and Stay curious,Kat & WilliamEmail  [email protected] you would like to support Info On The Go click the link belowhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2434258/support Or for Patreonhttps://patreon.com/InfoOnTheGo?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkFollow us wherever you listen to podcasts and leave us a review.Follow us on Facebook at Info on the Go!https://www.facebook.com/share/g/159DdiptQh/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://infoonthego.buzzsprout.com Being Me Is the Best Thing to Be by Judy Erb tells the story of Honey, a curious little turtle who learns that being herself is the very best thing to be.
