[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spinoff from the other thread.  Can folks help make sense of what MCPS is thinking as far as transportation?

In this presentation on slide 90 they are assuming only 3 buses come to each school in year one, presumably one from each of the other schools, for a total of 12 for the 4-school region.  This matches with the rumor that you will have to get yourself to your local HS on your own to catch a bus to a regional program (has anyone heard  official confirmation of that?) https://go.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/files/DMJHXR4AA9BD/$file/Boundary%20Studies%20Program%20Analysis%20Update%20251016%20PPT%20REV.pdf

But then it looks like they are assuming that they will use 8 less buses one the previous local routes so it will only take 4 new buses?  That doesn't make sense to me.

And then this is all just year 1, right, so it would cost 4 times more by the time it's fully implemented?

Please correct me if anyone understands this better or has additional info.[/quote]

They think that canceling buses that service the DCC and NEC, plus countywide magnet buses will offset the additional routes needed for program students. But they haven't showed if that's true.

Also? In one of the summer presentations, they estimated the cost of a bus route at at $100,00 annually. Then in October they said the cost of running a bus route is $50,000. No explanation for that change. My best guess is they were lying. [/quote]
