They're painted all yellow for a reason and people still manage to miss them. The iconic image resonates in people's minds, even if they're on a cellphone, drunk, or otherwise distracted. Anything that subtracts from the iconic image will make for more near misses.<br /><br />Inside? It's not like they can get away from advertising in any other place - even the classrooms have advertising on some school papers and lunchrooms and fields and pretty much everywhere. I'd love to keep things pure, but the bus companies might make a few bucks and lower the districts cost. Or not.<br /><br />Can we really save them from the insidious advertisers at this point?Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323026187622872114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14707730.post-52507918819228962102010-01-31T13:30:29.872-05:002010-01-31T13:30:29.872-05:00How about a bill to install seat belts on school b...How about a bill to install seat belts on school buses?<br /><br />That would be a more appropriate conversation to be having by the states.Seattle Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06626106003023692326noreply@blogger.com
