Welcome to T.E, Nicolas.

The details and DOF is great. B&W is very well chosen. The bus is a bit tilted and I think there is too much space on top.

Nicolas, Nice photo. The reason these signs are put in the back of the buses is to ensure that the driver has done their job in making sure that there have been no students left on the bus at the conclusion of their route.

By walking to the back of the bus and looking in and under each seat and hanging the sign in the rear window, this is accomplished.

MANY, many times sleeping students have been left on parked buses which can have frightening results. In one instance here in Washington State, a special needs student was left on a bus, woke up, found a way off the bus, and was later found wondering around in park. The sign in the back window is a good thing when you understand the purpose behind it.
