[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just jumping in to say that when I was in high school I took a bus 1.5 hours to get to high school.  Sometimes I took the activity bus and it was even longer once you counted the time waiting at the Hardee's where I was dropped off.  It wasn't ideal but it wasn't the worst.  And sometimes you can carpool later once you find out who from your neighborhood goes there.

Is it a commuting nightmare?  Of course.  But it's not impossible like some on this thread are implying.[/quote]

One long bus trip is inherently not the same thing as this commute. Making a bus-to-bus transfer between two infrequent routes is no joke. Miss a transfer and you're standing outside for 20 minutes in the blistering heat, freezing cold, thunderstorm, etc. while worrying about how late you're going to get to school.[/quote]

Students complain about buses skipping their stop, or being full and waiting another 20 minutes for the next bus, or the metro making them grt off and wait 20 minutes until the next train, etc.  This commute will be stressful and awful.  They will be frequently late to school unless they walk out the door at 7:15 am.[/quote]
