About this ebook
You need to get to another part of a big city quickly. What can you do? Take the city bus! City buses take people where they need to go day after day. They help people get to workplaces, stores, and more. They are hard at work in all types of weather. Young readers will learn about the main parts of city buses, how they work, and why they are important to cities and the people who ride them.
