The bus passes by my house on the way to a stop up the street. Why can’t it just stop and pick up my child at home?
Please remember that we transport more than 40,000 students every day, so it is impossible to provide door-to-door service to everyone, and do it in a timely manner. In most neighborhoods, it is more efficient to pick up several students in one stop, usually at a corner or other mid-way point for the students. Of course, exceptions are made for students who live on hazardous roads, or where conditions exist that would make walking up the street unsafe.
