Ella,

This is a well reasoned and thought out essay! You have great insight into the problem and solutions.

The school busing issue with all of its illogical approach, it’s economic cognitive dissidence, strikes a particular nerve. If you take a moment an analyze the daily origin to destination of a school bus, you will discover that the 5 trips from origin to destination, 3 of them are empty. In what world is that acceptable?

Thank you! It would be so much more efficient to get at least the old kids on public transport. I took the subway every day throughout high school when I lived in Brooklyn.
