The funniest part about this is either they chose to specifically look up the length of a school bus to write this article or they just happen to be a school bus enthusiast excited to share their random school bus facts.
You also missed rugby union, but from what I can see that doesn't have a particularly standardised length? In Australia I suspect most rugby union fields are probably 100 m because they just reuse the more popular rugby league grounds. Elsewhere it's probably the same as soccer.

I had to convert that to bananas. About 7,000 7-inchers. Or 4000 ft long hot dogs.
Now it makes sense.

Well obviously the buses are a stand-in for the Finnish trams. School buses are the closest thing to public transit that exists in parts of the US.

When you don't know meters, any measure is better that your imperial one. Bus, football fields, bananas, etc

12 rugby league fields (measured try line to try line—i.e. disregarding the in-goal area).

Thank you! I am embarrassed to have missed that one.
(I also missed Rugby Union, but I'm less bothered by that)
