School shuttle/bus in US

One of the things I enjoyed very much was taking shuttle when I was a graduate student in US. University provide very convenient shuttle services to their students. The service cover as far as 11 mile to campus and it is free for all students, staffs, faculties. University encourage students to take shuttle instead of driving to school.

There are also a lot of yellow school bus for high schools and elementary schools in US. You must stop when the stop sign is on from those school bus, otherwise you will face a huge penalty.

I am surprised to find that there is no this kind of service in Brisbane. All the university students take expensive bus (ps. they do have 50% discount to adult fare).
