School buses in France
Driving my son to school this morning it was as if I was seeing a swarm of bumble bees flitting around on their daily rounds, with great purpose, as I maneuvered through the big yellow school buses traversing their routes and the traffic to find their way to the schools.
Naturally, it made me consider whether the French engage in such organized chaos, and so comes this post with the link to an article about just this, who gets a bus, until what age etc.:

But the article does not say whether the buses are yellow. Interesting question - what is the origin of the yellow school buses in the US? Any comments?

My first thoughts:
Safety...yellow is bright...yellow represents warning to slow down, and be prepared.
THe color would also be different, at the time from the years it began? thank any other vehicle, and it would stand out.
I also thought since they figured them to become mass in production, yellow would be a cheap paint color...?
go figure...these were my thoughts.
