How do you go to school every day？ By bike or on foot？ Maybe you can try a new way—taking a SCool Bus.

The SCool Bus is also called the bike bus. It was invented in the bike kingdom—the Netherlands. It is all about green lifestyle， sport and sharing. Its interesting for kids to ride the bus together to go to school.

Also， it is very safe. The bike bus has a driver and eleven seats for kids. Each one has a helmet（頭盔）and safety belt（安全帶）.There is also a roof on the bus. It can be used on hot days or rainy days to make kids feel comfortable.

Riding the bike bus is one of the greatest ways for children to get to school. Peter， a 10—year—old pupil，becomes a big fan of the bike bus. “Now the SCool Bus is my favorite way of transport. I can ride it together with other kids to keep healthy. Its full of fun.” For most parents， it can help them save a lot of time because they only have to pick up their children after school.

The SCool Bus is becoming more and more popular in some countries like Germany and France. Its creator Thomas Tolkamp says， “I hope I can sell the bike bus to more countries in the future. As green lifestyle becomes popular， ideas like this get popular， too. I think it will work well in other countries.” The use of SCool Bus shows us that we can save the earth in many ways as long as we want to have a try.
