[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You could also step into the fees. Remember the costs are already baked into the budget. You could recoup 50% the first year and then increase over the next several years. Also remember that economics drives behavior. If the bus is free there is more frequent casual riding. Kids that live close enough to bike and choose this option over paying or people who use the bus off and on would no longer be factored into the equation. You would have a more stable market of riders and be able to run the system more efficiently. It could even be potentially outsourced or privatized if MCPS can not run anything well.

On the other hand, if you think that its purpose is to get the kids to school, it wouldn't be.[/quote]
