[quote=Anonymous][quote]I wouldn't worry too much about the "roughness" of the 70 buses. Maybe have her navigate to and from school once in late summer with you following along? In other words, get on the same train car but don't sit with her. Sounds like you have a smart kid and I bet she'll be fine. After the first few weeks, she'll probably have a group of friends to travel with. [/quote] I'm the pp who made the suggestion about the 63 route, and I beg to differ. the 70 isn't "rough," but ROUGH. If she's with a friend, or sits next to the driver, she'll be fine. If she's alone, she might be hit on my drunks, or other older men who seem to troll the busses. I'm not afraid of the 70 -- I already said I take this bus all the time, and that's why I suggest the 63 as a more sane alternative for a kid who is traveling alone. It's the same alternative I'd choose for my own kid if she were unattended. [/quote]
