  Tell us about your school bus
Updated 14 May 2003, 11.08
A school bus
The nation's school buses are in a right state, according to the Government.

How's your transport? Is it smelly, untidy and always breaking down?

Or is your bus the best?

opening quoteMy school bus is horrible there is gum stuck to all of the seats, it is never on time, either too early and I miss it or too late and I have to wait in the rain and I very rarely get a seat on as so many people need to get the bus.closing quote
Helen, 15

opening quoteOur school bus is nearly always late, people smoke, the bus driver gets mad and even phoned the police one time when some idiot threw an inhaler out of the top deck window and it hit a car. There are never enough seats to go around and some people even have to stand on the top deck!closing quote
Hayley, 15, Lancashire

opening quoteMy dad drives me, there is no school bus that passes my house to my school.closing quote
Arna, 13, Taiwan

opening quoteMy school bus is fine, admittedly once or twice it has been late but the drivers are all nice and there isn't any trouble. It is always clean and never smells.closing quote
Rosie, 11

opening quoteI hate my school bus, as people upstairs smoke and it is always really crowded. I hardly ever get a seat. It also costs too much.closing quote
Rachel, 14

opening quoteMy school bus used to be really good but recently some kids have started to smoke on it which I really hate and I'd like to say something to the teachers but then I'll be a dobber.closing quote
Kay, 15

opening quoteI like my bus as it is nice and warm.closing quote
Isobel, 9

opening quoteI really dislike my school bus, as it is really cold and untidy. Today it broke down and we were left stranded for ages before another bus came to collect us. Not only that, we have to stand outside school for half an hour before the bus even arrives in the first place.closing quote
Kate, 13

opening quoteI hate my school bus because older pupils ignore the no-smoking signs which is very inconsiderate for all the younger pupils and non-smokers on the bus. There is always a long wait in the cold in the mornings as well when the bus is late.closing quote
Mads, 14

opening quoteOur school doesn't have a special yellow school bus, but it would be good to get one because some people have to walk a long way to school, or their parents have to give up time to drop them off.closing quote
Sarah, 12

opening quoteMy bus is OK but it's always full of litter! Quite disgusting if you ask me!closing quote
Sophie, 13

opening quoteMy mum always takes me to school in the car. The kids on the bus are soo naughty, one kid threw a seat out of the fire exit door whilst the bus was driving.closing quote
Shelly, 13

opening quoteSometimes my bus is SO annoying. I am the second stop, which means I have to leave for the bus stop at 7am (sometimes in the winter it's dark out). My bus is full of 6th graders, who are very annoying (and very short!). The bus gets to school around 7:30am, twenty minutes before school starts (which means we have to wait in the cafeteria and we can't leave). closing quote
Rachel, 14, USA

opening quoteMy bus is sooooo cool! It's usually crowded but that's good because when people start to fight about something the whole bus gets involved! It's sooooooo hilarious! So to calm everyone down my bus driver starts to play some cool music on the radio like Good Charlotte or Eminem!! So it's all good!!!closing quote

opening quoteI hate my school bus. All year 11 girls smoke on the top deck and won't let you open any windows. I HATE IT. I HAVE TO GET IT EVERYDAY AFTER SCHOOL.closing quote
Jane, 11

opening quoteMy bus is terrible!!! It is smelly, cold, the seats are covered in chocolate, dirt, dust, drinks, spit off some of the kids! Also my driver is always braking so hard, we hit our heads on the seats or fall over!closing quote
James, 13

opening quoteI hate my school bus, it's smelly and always late picking me up. One time it didn't turn up at all!closing quote
Steve, 11
