For most students, the school day begins with the first bell, first class or homeroom, but the reality is that for many students the school day begins by standing on a curb waiting for one of Central City Public School’s buses to pick them up. The transportation department of the school includes a fleet of full-sized buses, including the traditional big yellow route buses, a couple of mid-size buses, a pair of smaller buses and two custom-decorated Bison buses which are used mainly to transport students to extra-curricular activities. Several buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts for students with disabilities and all buses are equipped with video camera systems.
