As somebody who has never actually been to those two campuses, I just looked on Google Maps to see how hard they are to get to. There is a metro literally blocks away, as well as several bus lines. I had heard about this dedicated bus line and thought it was b/c the two schools were super inaccessible. If they are going to do a dedicated bus for those two schools, the city should provide buses from metro stations in Anacostia, Columbia Heights, Brookland, Deanwood, etc. to get those students to other schools.  With the city budget the way it is, b/c they weren't able to provide for all of the students city, it makes sense they aren't going to provide any.[/quote]

There is a metro right by Deal, but there isn't a metro stop in some of the neighborhoods that are in bounds for Deal.

If the routes have a lot of passengers, I don't see why they would be discontinued.  Making middle schoolers travel through downtown doesn't seem efficient.[/quote]

NP and what you are saying makes sense.  What really doesn’t make sense at this point is having kids in boundary for Jackson Reed east of the park.  I know that’s a separate discussion but kids shouldn’t be commuting through the park to go to their in boundary school.[/quote]
