Why Do School Buses Still Look The Same?

On the outside, school buses haven't changed much in almost 100 years, and there's a reason for that. A 1939 conference determined the yellow color, black text, and boxy shape that have come to symbolize the iconic childhood transport. Buses have changed a lot on the inside since the conference and they continue to be the safest way to get to school — about 70 times safer than a car, according to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Why Do School Buses Still Look The Same?

Sometimes at night i lie awake thinking “why do school buses still look the same?”

[dragonballanalyst]

Just like the schooling system, the buses haven't changed either😂

[Kingvalles]

Narrator: "Some busses don't even have seatbelts."

Me: "Wait, some do?"

My grandfather in the 30s every morning he walked for an hour he fought 1 or 2 bears and swim through a fast flowing river to go to school

Some buses don’t even have seatbelts..

*chuckles* “I’m in danger”

[VinnyMartello]

This is one of those classic cases of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.

[ethan]

"what makes school buses so safe?" the professional driver

[CaptainM]

Just American school buses. School buses in other countries don’t look the same.

[Timespartan]

School buses have newer bodies, newer engines transmission tires structure. They are completely different. Only the general shape of the bus remains

[nathangebben]

Dad used to always say "I'm not driving you to school, the bus is safer!"

....Guess he was right again

[edengarcia]

Parents/ grandparents: WHen I was your age I had to walk 7 miles up a mountain and swim over a lake to get to school we didn't have buses

Me: oh yah then what's T H I S 0:32

[brianbarclay]

The picture of the 2020 bus is actually of a bus about 25 years old, lol

[bebs]

Business insider - “school buses haven’t changed”

My school bus with WiFi - “am I a joke to you?”

[BigRobChicagoPL]

Everyone gangsta till the bus driver screams over the intercom while pulling over on the side of the road

[Memes-ipjw]

“Although 8 states require seat belts on buses”

Me seeing Texas: *visible confusion*

[gwgux]

I rode on the same bus my mother took to school more than a few times when I was in school. Not only do school buses not change much, school districts don't replace them very often either. New standards are good and need to be updated with the times, but that doesn't mean you won't have a 30+ year old school bus pull up to bring your kid to school either.

[etc]

still remember a Humvee crashed into the back of a schoolbus.
The Humvee was a total lost, school bus only suffered minor damage.
