The chatter on the bus subsided as each student peered out the window, eagerly watching as the scenery changed from residential houses to commercial buildings.
Soon, the urban landscape gave way to a sprawling suburban area, and the bus passed by parks, shops, and other schools along the way.

As the bus came to a halt, the doors opened once again.
