[quote=Anonymous]NYC does provide bus transit for some kids. For example, I have a friend who lives in harlem and her kid goes to a gifted elementary school program on the UWS. Even though both school and home are relatively close to the same subway line (just a few stops, no transfers), the city still provides a school bus, so it is possible.

That said, all I'd really like for DC is for WMATA to take charters and DCPS into account when settings routes/schedules. For example, our kid is at the LAMB campus on South Dakota ave. It shares a campus with another charter and the building is huge so in total, there are a lot of kids there. All I really want is for the city to put a bus shelter at the stop near the school and maybe run a couple extra buses timed with when school gets out. Same thing for other large charter campuses or other schools with lots of kids not in walking distance from their homes. I remember reading something about Deal students having to testify before the city council to get a bus shelter last year, that is crazy. there should have been a shelter all along.[/quote]
