[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our MS and HS students commute via Metro for work. The older one was in a nearby station during the fires, so we've thought about this a lot. We still let them use transit - it's still far safer than being in a car. They both attended a tween self-defense workshop first. We talk about how to handle situations where they feel uncomfortable or unsafe, they know how to transfer lines, get out of a station or to change cars if needed. We also taught them where to get at least 2 different buses to our neighborhood/school in case there's an accident or delay. Both kids also have the WMATA app on their phones and check for delays before heading home, and for true emergencies have Uber app on their phone. One has taken a bus once - and neither has ever used Uber. HTH.[/quote] Oops. For school. [/quote]
