School bus yellow is a color which was especially formulated for use on United States school buses in 1939.The color was selected because black lettering on that hue was easiest to see in the semi-darkness of early morning. wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_bus_yellow

Bus drivers have teeth? Not where I come from! But seriously, busses are yellow because that's the most visible color, even at night.

Yellow is a prominent color which is very noticeable under most circumstances. Now that many states require flashing lights and fold out stop signs on school busses safety is much better, The combination should get a driver's attention.

Too funny, maybe.
Really it's because they tend to stand out more than the color black.
