This is not just 'taking the bus to school' — it names a specific policy from American history. Because neighbourhoods were divided by race, the schools were too, and from the late 1960s into the 1980s courts ordered districts to move students by bus to mix them. It was heavily argued about, and if you meet the word in a news article or a history book, that argument is usually the point.
