Why School Buses Are Yellow

- Consider the school bus. It could be painted literally any color: pink, bright green, orange, or even zebra-print. So, why pick yellow? Is it because it’s a cheerful hue that makes kids happy to go to school? See the kid’s faces? The main reason for picking yellow paint for school buses is... safety!
If you look at the color closely, you'll notice that instead of being pure yellow, it's a totally different shade! It's a curious mixture of lemon-yellow and orange. But what about the scientifically proved fact that red is the one with the maximum wavelength? It doesn't get scattered easily, and that's why you can clearly see it from afar! On top of that, most people associate this color with caution. So, why not paint school buses red?

SUMMARY:
- Despite all the scientific stuff, it’s not red, but yellow, which is the color that instantly grabs your attention in daily life.
- Depending on the season, it's often still dark outside at this time. That's why it makes sense to use yellow paint, which will make buses more noticeable on the road.
- Scientists state that you're 1.24 times more likely to spot a yellow object with your peripheral vision than the same object painted red!
- But it wasn't always like this! The "National School Bus Glossy Yellow" color didn’t appear until 1939; before that, school buses were painted all kinds of colors.
- Seat belts simply won't make school buses safer! The thing is that traveling on a school bus is a 40 times safer than going somewhere by car.
- The seats on a school bus are situated close to each other, and they have high padded backs. As a result, if an accident does happen, and a student gets propelled forward, they’ll only move a short distance.
- Adding seat belts would increase the cost of each bus by $8,000 to $15,000! Plus, buses would have fewer seats because seat belts would take additional space.
- If a school bus weighs more than 10,000 pounds, it's up to the states to decide whether the vehicles need to be equipped with seat belts or not.
- The chains help school buses get traction on icy roads. If the driver realizes that they can't cope without some additional help, they can just press a button on the dashboard.
- When the sun is too bright, the glossy, bright yellow paint covering the hood of the bus starts to give off too much glare. As a result, it makes it hard for the driver to see their surroundings, and distracts them from the situation on the road.
- And while some states make school bus manufacturers equip vehicles with black hoods, others forbid it. In this case, they get covered with an anti-glare substance.

They are orange though.... has everyone gone mad lol?
@@alexcrowder1673 2 years ago mate, also idk if they're orange or yellow, more like yellow with an orange tone, but idk, I don't really have school buses in my country
in darkness the absence of light distorts colors;
from the Moody Blues --
" Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white"
hence, the color of yellow looks like white in darkness.
as for seatbelts they are a mechanical mechanism that can jam or fail to release. I carry ems belt shears...
Me: On the bus
Still me:why is a school bus yellow
I would paint it blue because it’s my favorite color
'I like Zebra print!'

Same the some of the company's buses that I go on the really hard
Oops I mean are where it says the
I thought yellow was associated with “caution” rather than danger, which is usually red.
Yellow is associated with caution.
@@hellohi-yv8ho That's what he said
@@hellohi-yv8ho Wait, nvm, I just realised what you mean
.....but school buses are orange though. Is everyone color blind? That's obviously not a pure yellow, there's is a definitive red tint to it, meaning it's orange.
Here in the UK, we use public buses for school buses, you should make a video about why UK school buses are public buses
The school buses that my school goes on when we go to like excursions and camps have seatbelt’s

The wheels on the bus go round and round
The chains you are talking about are usually made of metal and they run on a wheel. They have an air canister and a valve that when you send air to the air canister it pushes the chain wheel up against the tire. There are between 6-12 strands of chain per wheel. This is the same system on fire trucks, and some semis. They are a replacement for snow chains cause it takes a second to flip the switch but sever mins to install chains. I’ve looked into this about putting this system on my truck. But, in the trucking world if you have to chain up then you’re better off parking. Bonus fact, if there are snow chains on a trailer there called drag chains. Just thought I’d share a little info
4:08 They’ve just been in a car accident and they don’t even care!
They look evenly happy
Insurance money 😂😂😂😂

They copied bright side that’s why
Change my mind.

I saw the title "Why are school buses yellow" Then i was like because your channel is yellow haaahaaaaahaaaa🤣
School bus yellow is a color that was specifically formulated for use on school buses in North America in 1939. Originally named National School Bus Chrome, the color is now officially known in Canada and the U.S. as National School Bus Glossy Yellow.
Oh I was expecting to hear that yellow is cheaper than other colors bc you know how cheap school systems are.
Right xD btw love your profile pic
1939 was the beginning of WW2
Hit like if you’re learning about World War Two
Kitty Mewzik depends on whether you think the Japanese invasion of China in 1938 was the real start of WWII

Actually,those chains are to prevent lightning from damaging the bus and its passengers in the case of a thunderstorm. Busses and other big vehicles have these chains because the electrons in the lightning look for the closest place to pass to the ground (ground charges).
My school doesn't have a school bus, so I am always late!!

I live in Missouri and most buses have flat fronts so they don’t need the black hoods. I’m not sure if that’s what all the Missouri schools have or not.
