The colour yellow means "Caution".....such as yellow light, yellow traffic signs, yellow lines painted on roadways etc.

The color was formulated in 1939 for use on school buses in the United States because it was determined that the black lettering on the buses stood out in the early morning semi-darkness best on this color. It has been standard ever since. It is called National School Bus Glossy Yellow.

Because yellow is the easiest color to see, dubbed so by insurance companies that do a bunch of research on stuff like this. Yellow is an "attention getter" and also enhances concentration and memorization according to people that study color...
but I'm going to say that buses are yellow because insurance companies say that's the "safest" color to see.
