Have you ever wondered about the big vehicles that we often see on our city streets carrying many people? These vehicles are called buses. A bus is a type of public transportation that carries lots of people from one place to another.

The word “bus” actually comes from a Latin word “omnibus” which means “for all”. Pretty cool, right? It shows that a bus is meant to serve everyone, helping us to travel each day.

Many years ago, the first buses were horse-drawn. This means that they had horses in front to pull the bus. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that they started making buses powered by engines, like we see today.

There are many types of buses. Some buses are long distance buses that travel from one city to another. School buses, on the other hand, are used to take students to and from their homes and schools.

Buses have large seats and big windows. Everyone gets their own seat and there’s space in the aisle for people to walk. Some buses also have space for people to stand if all the seats are taken.

Buses also help the environment. How? When many people ride the same bus, it means fewer cars are on the road. Fewer cars mean less pollution which is great for our earth!

So next time you see a bus, remember all the cool stuff you learned. Buses are not just vehicles. They carry history, they serve everyone and they play a big part in protecting our planet too.
