Every country has a set of “weird things” that seem inscrutable to outsiders. Presumably your country does as well. And good thing, life would be less interesting otherwise.
But the US’s oddities seem to come in for lots of this type of “let me enlighten you” commentary.
To think about this from a school system perspective: why? They're expensive as it is, and they are already safe and functional.
The reason most counties don't have a transit system isn't because of cost, but the cost to benefit ratio. There just isn't enough of an audience for one in the first place. Population density in the majority of the country just doesn't work like that.

This is just another weird US thing. It's fine, school buses don't need to look like those transporting WW2 conscripts forever, they can be upgraded!

The USA pushes its culture in movies etc.
American school buses are sometimes featured. The only other school transport I've seen in a film is the Hogwarts Express.
