[quote=Anonymous]Actually in NYC, they do use school buses. The fleet of school buses are free to schools as long as they're reserved in advanced and the students return in time for the buses to pick up students with special needs from other schools. I know this to be true because I was a student, teacher, in admin in NYC. Yes, students have to travel by metro because private buses can run upwards of $600.00 for a simple day trip to the museum. It would be lovely to have each parent pay PTA fees to cover these expenses, but is not an option in all parts of the city. In order to ensure students are exposed to every ward in the city and all of the cultural exhibitions, teachers use the metro (with plenty of chaperones). If schools in SE wait for buses to become affordable/free, their students will never get a chance to visit the wonderful opportunities for classes all over the city. [/quote]
