Still find it stupid and wasteful to move kids from walkers to 45 minute bus riders.[/quote]

Lol at the notion that the kids of $500k HHI parents are walking 1.5 miles to school. They'll get to Kennedy faster on the bus, they'll be thrilled.[/quote]

That’s not what is referenced.  Try BCC shipped to Blair.[/quote]
Lol at 45 minutes. 
I know you have never been that way but Blair is a 14 minute drive from Chevy Chase. Obviously, there will be stops they have to make to pick up kids, but if there are 30 minutes of stops then a lot of bus rides must currently be 45 minutes.[/quote]

This is false and has been discussed extensively upthread.

I have gone to Blair from Chevy Chase in a car on the regular.  It is often 30 min in a car if not taking 495.  Easily 45 min in a bus.[/quote]

It's 20 minutes if you take East West Highway east in the morning and west in the afternoon.

Just because somebody said it earlier in this thread doesn't make it true.

Also buses can take 495.[/quote]

Sigh.  It’s dumb to bus kids who can and do walk.  It’s dumber to bus them 6.5 miles.

Buses 1) make stops to pick up kids 2) go slower than cars 3) don’t take 495 bc of #1.  These are some reasons the ride is slower than cars.[/quote]

You are suggesting every bus must make 25 minutes of stops. In that case a 30 minute ride would be the absolute minimum and y'all are flipping out over 45 minutes. Gmafb[/quote]
