Old School Buses

Retired American school busses are like American retirees - they both head to Central America to live out their golden years. However, their quality of life varies considerably by country. In Honduras, old school buses often still have the name of the Virginia school district where they began their career. In Belize, they opt for the slower paced rastafarian paint scheme of red, gold, and green. However, Panama wins the the creativity and colorful contest with custom air brush work adorning the buses.
Some of the slogans along the bumper can be disconcerting at times - my personal favorite being "tomorrow was for honor, today is for revenge." But they look good.
I suppose in the chaotic and crowded streets of Panama City a little aggression in your bus might be a good thing if you ever want to get anywhere.
