As we begin another school year, students all over the nation and world will be taking all modes of transportation to get to school.

Most in the U.S. take a school bus, public transportation or take a ride with parents.

Show these to your kids when and if they ever pitch a fit about walking a few feet or taking a bus to get to school.
