Joyful Japanese Buses

Character Based Transport For Japanese School Children

Cast your eyes over these joyful Japanese buses, sure to put a smile on any child's face. The collection ranges from transport in 'Thomas the Tank Engine' right through to being picked up by 'Pikachu'.
It certainly seems to excite children about the journey to school. You might be mistaken for thinking the brakes are squealing when really it’s just the occupants.
The theory stems from the idea that kids love cartoon characters such as 'Pikachu' or characters like 'Thomas the Tank Engine'. However they are a lot less excited by school. Therefore if you take them to school in the former, chances are they will feel a little better about the latter.
All in all it is a fantastic idea to get children slightly more excited about the prospect of another long day in education.
