I don't know any elementary school that picks kids up door to door.  Your bus stop may be closer but that is just you, not your whole neighborhood.  And my point of the waste of busses is that the elementary school is less than a 0.5 mile from my house but because the street has a traffic light, we "have" to have a bus.  Many students are designated walkers that walk, bike or get driven up to a mile to school.  So all those parents don't have the luxury whether they want a bus or not.  So I am not sure your point?

MCPS picks kids up at the door if there is no bus stop they can safely walk to.

And yes, MCPS provides bus transportation for elementary school students who have to cross a primary road on their way to school, unless there is a crossing guard. I agree that this is a waste, but the solution is not to cancel bus service. The solution is to make the streets safe for elementary school students to walk to school. MCPS can't do this - the transportation department has to do it.[/quote]
