	School bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A school bus is a bus used to transport children and adolescents to and from school.
		Early school buses primarily served rural areas where it was deemed impractical for the young students to walk the distances necessary to get back and forth from school on their own, and were sometimes no more than a truck with perhaps a tarpaulin stretched over the truck bed.
		A bus accident at Carrollton, Kentucky in 1988 involving a church bus which had been originally built and served as a school bus was one of the worst bus accidents in United States history.

		School bus accidents don't happen every day, but when they do, they catch our attention, simply because there are usually multiple victims involved, and many of those victims are children.
		Although most school buses are Type C units with a carrying capacity of 60-66 seated students, there has been a recent push to the Type D "Super Bus," with a legal standard capacity between 84-90 students, plus the driver.
		Because a bus fire is more confined, it may be more intense than a house fire, Taylor explained, with temperatures reaching 2,000°F. To knock down a fire inside a burning bus, Taylor suggested standing in the front and aiming the water upward so it deflects off the ceiling and down onto the seats.

		New York State's school bus seat belt law requires all school buses manufactured after July 1, 1987 to be equipped with seat belts.
		The law states that children under the age of four must be restrained in a federally approved car seat while riding on a school bus [Section 1229-c(11), NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law].
