Students from educational institutions under the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) will travel in yellow buses as an increased security measure. FDE Spokesman Waqar Ashraf said the idea was to mark these vehicles to make them more significant and secure among other vehicles for safety purposes. He said the Ministry for Capital Administration and Development (CAD) had given directions to paint all buses of educational institutions. Most developing countries had already painted their school buses yellow in view of safety purposes, he added.
Waqar said these institutes had 136 buses and 42 of them had been painted yellow so far. He added that colleges were using their own resources to paint the buses. According to experts, the colour catches one’s attention faster than any other colour and people notice yellow objects first. Looking straight ahead, one can see a yellow object through corner of the eye faster than any other colour. Scientists have said, “Lateral peripheral vision for detecting yellows is 1.24 times greater than for red.”
