Magic School Bus



"The Magic School Bus!? Wait a second, my country never has school buses like these, even if it's only for Canada and the USA, yet we didn't have it once. Man, I wish my village's schools have these type of school buses too... even if there's a uniform to be worn necessary."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Operation: Invasion Der Zukünftigen Akademie

The Magic School Bus (a.k.a. The Bus, "Bus" by Valerie and Fiona, and "Bussy" by William) is the common name of the anthropomorphic school bus that Ms. Frizzle's class and Liz ride on and goes on field trips and is the main character in the series. It is most often piloted by Ms. Frizzle, her sister Ms. Frizzle or Liz, but occasionally, one of the kids will take the wheel (like Ralphie in "Kicks Up a Storm," "Going Batty" and "Gets Lost in Space," Wanda in "Gets Lost in Space", Carlos in "Gets Ready, Set, Dough," and Tim and Phoebe in "Taking Flight") or it will take on a shape (such as an animal) that allows it to "drive" itself.
