The wheels on the bus goes 'round and 'round...

The basic design of the yellow school bus hasn't changed much since the 30s, while cars and trucks has evolved year after year.

12 students of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadina, a leading U.S. school for industrial and transportation design, has modernized the classic yellow bus to be safer, more fuel efficient and fun to ride.

The challenge of this project was to "view the school bus as more than a vehicle to transport students to and from school, but rather as a vehicle that could be incorporated into the community," said instructor Marek Djordjevic, who oversaw the project.
