These school buses no longer belch pollution. They also give the grid a break. - eviltoast

    Because us doesn’t have public transit, and is pretty spread out, so walking isn’t always feasible. A lot of people do drop kids off though, but it leads to huge traffic jams.

      Why can they not just use the school buses to create a simple very basic bus based public transit system?

        Probably liability? And maybe they only pay the drivers part time? Plus, the school buses are absolutely the cheapest money can buy. The seats are too close together for adults to use, and they still might not have seatbelts?
