An American school bus....they all basically look the same.
School’s in session again in many parts of the world. We have returned to the classroom in Recife as well. Our break was for the month of July (basically) and it was a mid-year break….so we are now starting second semester. The new year begins in February at the school my daughter attends.
I remember periodic public service announcement ads in the U.S. reminding people to watch out for school busses on the roads after a summer without them…..perhaps they have them here, too, I just don’t watch local TV.
In the States, school buses are largely a form of public transportation, and they almost all look basically like this:
Most of the kids riding school buses are those who attend a private school, therefore the school busses are also private. School buses in Recife come in all sizes and shapes, several colors and a variety in age. For the little kids, there are usually car seats, and almost always there’s an adult driver and a nanny on board too.
A school bus in Recife, PE, Brazil....this one decorated for Carnival.
One of the larger school buses I see in Recife.
A smaller school bus in Recife, but not the smallest I have seen. Think VW van...
