No.  Only amounts paid for monthly passes (or passes of longer duration) for unlimited travel on public transportation can be claimed.  A school bus is not considered public transportation.  For more info, please see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns360-390/364/menu-eng.htmle
