Green Travel – School Bus

Last week the bus driver came to our classroom to talk about how green the bus is. He told us lots of interesting facts about the bus.

Did you know that thirty five cars are the same as one bus and its fifty four cents to go on the bus and one euro to drive your car? The speed is 81 kilometres and there are fifty one seats.

Another green way to travel is to car-pool. Car-pooling is where you bring friends in your car instead of both driving separately eg. You could bring someone to school with you.

Green Travel – By School Bus

Going to school by bus is very green .The bus is like carpooling but it has more seats. The school bus has fifty-one seats. Carpooling is fine but the bus is better. Going on the bus means less pollution .The experience on the bus is even a bit exciting.

Thirty to thirty-five cars are the same as one bus. So if at least twenty people are on one bus it’s a lot of pollution gone.

Did you know that it’s one euro to go in a car and fifty-four cent for the bus? So if you have a bus ticket, please use it and even if you don’t have a bus ticket please spare fifty-four cent to go by bus. It would save a lot of pollution.
