A question about a bus

In the picture below, which way is the bus traveling? (Ok, perhaps I should clarify this is not an animinated image, rather a still pic...errr, representation of a bus if you will.) Is the bus poised to travel to the left or the right?Can't make up your mind? Take a closer look.

Still don't know?

Supposedly (I'm trying to find an actual source for this question other than the email forward) Pre-schoolers all over the United States were shown this picture asked the same question. 90% of the pre-schoolers gave this answer.

"The bus is traveling to the left."

When asked, "Why do you think the bus is traveling to the left?"

They answered: "Because you can't see the door to get on the bus."

How do you feel now? know, me too.

Kenny answered "left." But his reason was "because it need too."

it's only because the kids actually ride busses. We drive cars. it's like "Smarter than a 5th Grader." They have more practice.
