The School Bus is a vehicle cut from Half-Life 2. It was apparently to be used by the Combine as the primary local Citizen transportation in City 17. It is based on the typical American yellow school bus, a reminiscence of the old, North American-like City 17 style.

[edit] Overview
- Existing only as brush, it can be found in several WC mappack maps:
- "
c17_01_15.vmf": in that pre "e3_terminal" map, it crosses the Combine Factories and passes in front of the City 17 Trainstation. It appears is all red - probably a mistake made by the mapper. - "
d1_terminal_01_40": in that other pre "e3_terminal" map, no bus but a shelter and signs can be found. - "
c17_road04.vmf": in that map the player rides it in a bus ride across City 17 (at some point another bus can be seen parked, with Citizens inside). In that map, it his higher and slightly longer. - "
proto_eliden.vmf": in that map, a damaged school bus with a taken out wheel and doors can be seen near two cars in the garage. - "
subt.vmf": in that map, it can be seen from the sewers between the Manhack Arcade and Kleiner's Lab. - "
d1_sewer": in that map and its variations, one is parked on a bridge, and another knocked over in a canal basin below.
- "
- During the game's development process, it was replaced by a tram. While no particular local Citizen transportation can be seen in the final game, tram tracks can be seen in the chapter "Follow Freeman!".
- At the end of the Half-Life 2 chapter "Follow Freeman!" (in the map "
d3_c17_13", partially based on the E3 map "e3_c17_02.vmf"), tracks, a shelter and bus signs can be seen, hinting that the canon City 17 featured trams and buses. A bus sign can be seen again at the very start of Episode One, near the monitor used to communicate with the scientists.
