School bus yellow
School bus yellow is a color which was especially formulated for use on United States school buses in 1939. The color is now officially known in the U.S. as National School Bus Glossy Yellow and was originally called National School Bus Chrome. In April of that year, Dr. Frank W. Cyr, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York organized a conference that established national school-bus construction standards, including the standard color of yellow for the school bus. It became known officially as "National School Bus Chrome." The color was selected because black lettering on that hue was easiest to see in the semi-darkness of early morning.

The conference met for seven days and the attendees created a total of 44 standards, including specifications regarding body length, ceiling height and aisle width. Paint experts from DuPont and Pittsburgh Paint participated. Dr. Cyr's conference, funded by a $5,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, was also a landmark event inasmuch as it included transportation officials from each of the then 48 states, as well as specialists from school-bus manufacturing and paint companies. The color was adopted by the National Bureau of Standards (Now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) as Federal Standard No. 595a, Color 13432.

Is it possible to haul a car, by another car with a hitch?

Because yellow is the color of bananas and kids like to throw banana peels on the floors of the buses to make other children fall on their faces. It became a national epidemic and a group of scientists from the Institute of Advanced Banana Peel Droppage Prevention (IABPDP for short) were appointed by the government to find a solution to this problem. They concluded that the yellow on the outside of the bus these children so dreaded to get on would discourage their instinct to throw banana peels on the floor. It worked for the most part, but there's still the occasional banana-peel-induced face smash from time to time.
