How Students Travel to School
Students around the world use different ways to get to school. The method often depends on where they live and how far away their school is.
School Buses
In countries like the United States, many students ride a school bus. These are special buses, often yellow, designed to pick up and drop off students at specific stops. School buses are a common way for students to travel, especially if they live far from school.
Walking and Cycling
In places like the Netherlands, many students walk or ride their bicycle to school. Walking is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Cycling is also popular, especially in countries with good bike paths. In the United Kingdom, students might travel by car, bus, or bicycle.
Staying Safe While Walking
When students walk to school, especially if they need to cross busy roads, they sometimes get help from special people. In the United Kingdom, these helpers are called "lollipop men" or "lollipop ladies." They use a large sign, shaped like a lollipop, to stop traffic and help students cross the road safely. In the United States, these helpers are known as "crossing guards." Their main job is to make sure students can cross streets without danger.
