[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A parent organized bus (traditional yellow school bus) currently uses the folloing route to Yu Ying:
1. Georgetown
2. Mt. Pleasant
3. U Street + 14th

Some Chevy Chase / AU Park families use the bus on a "drop in" basis by driving to Mt Pleasant for the 7:45 stop in the am.
Each year demand for additional routes and stops is evaluated by parent coordinators. AU/Chevy Chase always seem to come close to having critical mass but come up just short.[/quote]

There is another bus route, on the Hill.  That one does a morning trip, but I think (hopefully someone will chime in on this) there is a choice between two evening trips: one right after school, and the other after REEF (aftercare).  Also, I think that one is the vans, not the yellow "Starfleet" schoolbus.

The upper NW neighborhoods have critical mass for a bus, however not enough have committed to it to make a viable route - yet.  (I think the magic number is 10.)  There are a lot of carpools.  It's pretty easy to organize carpools, there's a google map that goes around at the beginning of the year so people can plot their coordinates.[/quote]
