    Never understood concept of school buses. Aren’t they used like twice a day on weekdays and they are idle most of the time? Why not just build a better public transport system…

      The running cost of school bus is quite a lot lower than a transit bus. In places where it’s economical to have public transit (read: not rural areas with few riders) they already use those buses instead of big yellow school buses.

      Why would you think that nobody else in a position of responsibility ever thought of your grand idea? Maybe if you don’t understand something, your first step should be to understand it?

        Of course somebody thought of that - Europe. We have no school buses here. It’s all public transport.
