[quote=Anonymous]I am the pre-k mom who took a taxi to high school.  I understand that my first post was unclear.  The OP did not specify the age of the kid, which is why I addressed both how I got to high school and what I am looking for for my preschooler.  Obviously, transportation options differ between these ages.  I could have been more clear that I was differentiating these situations.

To clear up any doubts, however, I have absolutely no intention of sending my 4-year-old alone in a cab, but I do want to "outsource" afternoon transportation as I described in my later post about potentially hiring someone in college.  I can't get to the school in time to do it myself, but I would like to maximize my time with my child.  Not working is not an option for many reasons, and this job allows me the flexibility to volunteer at the school on occassion and attend all significant events.  It is very odd to me that someone would think that this potential "outsourcing" basically negated my role as a parent.   I basically just need a school bus replacement.   Although a sedan service would be great, I would absolutely love it if I could find someone who would just accompany my child on the quick and readily-available public transportation options that exist between my home and the school.  My child and I currently commute (to daycare/work) on public transportation, and I would love for that to continue.  I was thinking that it would be a perfect job for a college student because the school is very close to a university, and I live downtown, so there would be no reason to have/use a car.  I would have to look at the bus schedules, but I would assume that it would take about an hour to pick up the kid, take the bus and then return to campus.

As I am currently just thinking about the options (this would be for next year), I would greatly appreciate if people thought that there would be any pitfalls to such a plan that I may not have considered.  Thank you very much to those people that have provided useful information about options.  And, I apologize to the OP for hijacking.[/quote]
