[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually I’m wondering what are the safety issues on metro. Last I heard, no daycare ever lost a kid on the train and no kid from a daycare field trip was ever hurt. So not really her why Metro raises some special concern. [/quote]

vast majority of daycares wouldn't do this, is why.  too risky.  kid falls between tracks / gets left behind in the chaos / falls down escalator etc.  just not worth it for kids that young.[/quote]

OMG its fine - both of my kids went on numerous field trips on public transportation (mostly Metrorail but some Metrobus) and no one was ever lost or injured.  Kids love riding the train/bus and all the walking is great at wearing them out.

Not sure why a kid would fall between the tracks (whatever that means as they shouldn't be on the tracks) or get left behind (which can happen anywhere) or fall down an escalator (which I've never seen happen to anyone in 30 years of riding public transit).

Its no different than a walk to the neighborhood playground - the kids need to be monitored at all times at that age but that is true no matter what.
