[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]cont.  9-12 mile trip[/quote]

The people with the longest commutes largely want to stay put at Langley and Oakton, and not be redistricted. [/quote]

As a taxpayer I’d be a-okay with Herndon houses going to Langley if the parents were required to provide transportation. But as a taxpayer I don’t like subsidizing a long and inefficient trip to Langley when Herndon is a fraction of the distance away. Same for Oakton. [/quote]
I think that part of the community would be happy to arrange their own transportation to stay at their current pyramid, but regardless, I think it’s important to remind you that the savings from your proposal would be shockingly small.[/quote]

You do know that long, long bus rides require more bus drivers and buses?  That is not an insignificant savings.  Bus drivers driving to Langley from Herndon and the Loudoun County line are not able to do as many bus routes as the other bus drivers/buses.  That is a fact.  Maintenance/gas are an additional issue.
