[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Middle/high schoolers are not capable of getting places on public transportation that does not exist. [/quote] Actually MoCo has a bus system. It's called RideOn and plenty of people depend on it. If the school population started riding RideOn, there would need to be far more buses added & more frequent service. This would lead to more people riding on RideOn. [/quote] Yes, RideOn is a great bus system -- for a suburban bus system in the US. If you want to expand RideOn, then you should push for the state and the county to increase funding. Because that's what's limiting service, not ridership. Meanwhile, your plan is: 1. Tell middle-school and high-school kids that from now on, they need to take RideOn -- even if RideOn can't actually get them where they're going, safely and conveniently. 2. something something more funding 3. something something more service 4. Better RideOn service[/quote]
