Buster and Gus - The Talking School Bus Safety Team
"Buster the Bus"
Buster is a miniature remote controlled three foot tall cartoonish replica of a full size yellow school
bus. Buster is equipped with a working stop sign, crossing gate, and flashing red lights. He works like
a real bus!
Buster has unique features, which include a musically friendly voice that enchants children while he
provides a very important message. He talks to the children about school bus safety.
The children clearly enjoy seeing this animated little bus. Buster can blink his eyes, turn on his
flashing lights, and activate his swing out stop sign and walking arm.
Buster is a great symbol for our school bus safety program. He is the ideal
size to teach children from PreK to 3rd grade. He can communicate with
the children at their eye level, and when he moves the children love it.
Buster is very agile and can easily maneuver in school classrooms or other
restrictive areas.
When Buster makes an entrance, the children giggle and grin. However,
Buster is all about teaching safety. His lessons include messages about:
