No it doesn't. It's shorter travel for many. Including the FARMS kids currently in Garrett Park. [/quote]

Where would their "central bus stop" be? [/quote]

Rosemary Hills?  DTSS?[/quote]

It will take kids about 35 minutes to get from Garrett Park to Rosemary Hills on public transit (assuming bus is on time) in addition to the 30 minute ride from Rosemary Hills to Whitman. So over an hour.[/quote]

ok what is a better solution?

Hour-long bus rides already seem contemplated in Option 3, for purposes of equalizing FARMS rates.  [/quote]

Which ones in Option 3 would be 1 hour?[/quote]

CC to Blair could easily be an hour in a bus during rush hour.  I have had that drive take me 45 min in a car during rush hour.  East west highway sucks in the morning.

I don’t know about Farmland to Kennedy but that’s like 6.7 miles.

Then there’s busing the Rosemary Hills kids to Whitman.

There’s other islands that I’d be concerned with but I’m not familiar enough with the routes.

Also important to remember that the public transit times will be the applicable ones for kids who miss the bus and for parents without cars.
