So non-school people can use school buses in London? From the picture, it's not actually a school bus as such, just an ordinary double-decker bus deployed to a route aimed mainly at school kids. hich is what a school bus is in London (and I think UK) Apart from where they aren't. There are several school bus services around me (in North London) which use coaches. I think that just serves to reinforce the point that "school bus" does not have anything like as precise meaning (and iconic status) as it has in the USA. And I find that very easy to understand given the way the US school bus was so widespread - IIRC available for any child more than a mile from school, even in cities. And from my list of useless things I remember, John Prescott (when in Government) sponsored a pilot in England of a US-style service - with yellow buses imported from the USA. -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |
