[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS bus fleet already larger than Greyhound’s. This is what happens when schools don’t effectively teach math or critical thinking for a generation or two. Simple logistical problems can’t be effectively be solved by highly paid Gatehouse staff. [/quote] Greyhound doesn’t have to have all of the buses coming and going at the same time. The only answer is hire more bus drivers but that’s clearly a problem. I tried to find how much public transit drivers make but I could only find it for the Metrobus. Salary starts at 50,000 dollars a year and they get overtime and benefits. I think the schools are banking on retirees taking these jobs or parents who want to work on the same schedule as their kids. The problem is however that times are hard and both parents need a full time job now. This plan worked in the 70s and 80s when you could make it work on one income or one parent part time, but this has become increasingly difficult to do.[/quote]
