[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now if Burgundy Farm just brings back a bus option, everything will be very nearly perfect again.[/quote]

I was curious about that—does it just go to Braddock Road? How much is it? Any hope for next year that it will be back? [/quote]

The bus service is through SSSAS, so it is pretty extensive. I think the return of bus service is up to SSSAS. It also includes Browne, so it mixes a lot of kids from several schools which may be an issue until everyone can be vaccinated. There is also a bus from Capitol Hill that is parent organized with their van and driver. This has run throughout Covid. [/quote]

New to Burgundy this year and disappointed about the lack of transportation.  In the past when they had bus service, was it door-to-door?  Wonder what the pick up times were like in the morning?[/quote]

Thinking back to The Before Times: Service was door-to-door, and our pickup time was around 7:15.  I really, really, really miss the bus.   :( [/quote]

Any current parents who can speak to if there is discussion/plans to reistate now that vaccinations are happening?[/quote]

No idea.  I think it’s ultimately up to SSSAS since it’s their buses used for transportation.  Even though the vaccination process is starting for younger kids, it will still be a little while until all kids are fully vaxxed (and the JK kids at Burgundy may still be too young).  Haven’t heard of any plans to reinstate the buses.  Sure would be a nice perk though!  Driving takes a good chunk of time out of our days.  Worth it for the school, but a bus would be so nice for more flexibility![/quote]

Crazy thought: Maybe Burgundy could [b]get its own bus?[/b]  C'mon, Burgundy.....[/quote]

They used to have their own buses back in the early 2000's but cost way more to operate so it didn't make sense financially.  The bus with SSSAS actually works out pretty well. [/quote]
