Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Backward bus: Students; left to right; Marc-Andre Chen; 6; Andrea Walsh; 12; and Kevin Walsh; 9; take a trial run in a test bus with reversed seats driven by Wayne York. Five Toronto schools will test the 22-seat bus; considered a safety improvement that would save pupils from being thrown against the seat ahead of them in any front-end collision.
