How did school buses start? They began in the Indiana of the 19th century. Wagons pulled by horses - check this pic. The motor models didn't arrive until 1914. 

What's the most famous skoolie? Probably Furthur, the 1939 bus of Ken Kesey - the author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The bus was "the hero" of his cross-country psychedelic trip of 1964. 

What's the meaning of "furthur"? Nobody knows.
