[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Nearly every single kid getting busted to a middle school AAP center will still need to ride a bus to their base middle school.

Putting AAP at every middle school will have minimal to zero effect on busses.[/quote]

Disagree:

Few of those buses are overflowing.  It will definitely cut the number of buses.
Most of those being bused to AAP centers out of their boundary are going longer distances.  Longer distances require more buses because of the time required --in other words, they are not as able to take another run.  And, it is greater gas expense.

No, it won't.

Those kids will still be on crowded busses, just going to a different school.

It will make no notable difference to the buss costs or crowded busses to put AAP at every middle school.

Most middle school students live outside of the walk zone, whether or not the school is an AAP center.[/quote]

Wow.  Suggest you get a map and plot the routes.  Double buses going through neighborhoods and longer distances.  You really cannot understand that?

An example:  Herndon neighborhoods going to Hughes instead of Herndon.
Extra buses and a longer distance.  Multiply that across the county.  It definitely adds up.[/quote]
It does not equate to more buses. It equates to more bus stops and therefore longer bus runs. The primary saving is in time. Kids spending less time on a bus is a good thing.

Long bus routes won’t be eliminated, though, so it’s doubtful this will have any impact on school start times.[/quote]

You've never worked in logistics have you?

Of course,  many long bus routes will be eliminated.  I've no idea how many, but it might have a positive effect on school start times.  If they would do this at the elementary schools, it would definitely have an impact on school start times.  
In any case, it will be a money savings and likely make the bus routes more economical.  It makes sense.[/quote]
