FIRST WORLD TROUBLES * UK - Transport minister announces 'walking buses'
Weybridge,UK -Environmental Transport Association -22 Nov 2006: -- A 'walking bus' has absolutely nothing to do with roads, but instead is meant to increase traffic on the sidewalks as it gets kids walking to school again... The transport secretary, Douglas Alexander, announced £15 million in grants over two years for schools with walking programs in place today... Walking bus programs are being implemented in primary schools all over the UK, where children are escorted from a "bus stop" to school in packs by teachers or community volunteers... The program would not only provide an element of physical fitness to the children's day, but would also decrease transport emissions that school buses use, and help fight climate change...
