This video shows how the Indonesian kids wait for the bus. Also, how the bus responded to the kids with melodic horns.
The Indonesian buses don't just have ordinary horns — they're melodic, playing brief tunes that delight the crowds of children gathered to hear them. And they don't all play the same tune.
