Most school buses do not use CB radios. They use commercial FM two way radios that are licensed by the FCC here in the US. There are very many frequenies that they use, but try 155.22 MHz in a scanner as a starting point. That same frequency is used by some Search and Rescue groups and Veterinarians and other businesses.
Here in WV school bus drivers still use cb radio if they drive in congested Coal Truck areas and call out where they are and where there stopping to give coal truck drivers a heads up on a lot of these curvy 2 lane roads. channel 19.

Depending upon where the school bus drivers are.. some use citizens band to talk between the drivers. In my area they used cheap 40 channels they bought at the local wal-mart with a mag mount before some crud started between the local antagonist and the bus drivers happened and let's just say some prinipals found out quickly how much they were talked about.... Right after that, all the Buses got free emergency only cell phones (which was the excuse that the bus drivers used to keep the cbs) and basically got told to rip the cb radios out or else.
But anyhow, there are many brands such as radio shack, uniden, cobra and all use the legal 40 channel variety found at most major retailers (the cb is based on channels to talk on with 40 being the current number of channels)
Some do go and use modified ham equipment and go into the illegal portions of the space between cb and 10 meter ham radio.. But usually bus drivers stick to the cheap 40 channel radios... truckers and cb operators who do a lot of talking usually run the later radiosWhat kind of CB radio and what frequencies do the school bus drivers use?
In India Citizen Bands are middle of 27 MHz to middle of 28 MHz.
