Get on the bus, Gus

A new school year has started which means the big yellow buses will be crowding the streets during rush hour traffic. With that in mind, here are a few questions to ponder:
• What is the official name of the color yellow used on school buses?
• What year did the color become a national standard?
• Who is considered the "Father of the Yellow School Bus?
• And finally, according to the Orlando Sentinel, how many Seminole County students rode the bus during the 2005-2006 school year?
By the way, Hank Dieckhaus rode one of these short buses to school every day.
