[quote=Anonymous][quote]It would be great if RideOn had morning discounts for students too. But I agree that the bus system currently in the county as a whole is just not adequate for getting high school students to school. There are some places it would work, but a lot more places it wouldn't.[/quote] How about a hybrid model? Denser areas with access to existing public transit lines receive vouchers (like DC and other urban areas do) to ride the public buses. Areas that are not served use the MCPS buses. The reduction in MCPS bus fleet funds the vouchers and saves money overall. Overtime, this model can shift toward 100% public transit with the build out of additional routes or stay hybrid depending on which is most cost effective. Of course, this solution is about efficiency and requires the county departments to actually work together rather than protect their little fiefdoms. [/quote]
