作为义务教育的重要组成部分,美国的校车服务体系逐渐形成法制化、规范化、专业化、系统化的特色。每天清晨和下午,在美国城乡都有这样一道亮丽的风景线:公路上行驶着一辆辆橘黄色的校车,不时地停下来,让中小学生上下车。目前,美国有大约45万辆校车,全美国大约有2500万学生乘校车上下学,如果按照每天每个孩子来回乘两次计算的话,那么校车全年接送孩子达上百亿人次。 As an important component of compulsory education, the school bus service system in the United States has gradually become legalized, standardized, specialized, and systematic. Every morning and in the afternoon, there is a beautiful landscape in the urban and rural areas of the United States: An orange school bus is driving on the highway and stops at intervals to get students in and out of school. At present, there are approximately 450,000 school buses in the United States. About 25 million students in the United States travel by school buses. If they count each child twice a day, then the school bus will transport 10 billion children each year.
