[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Effective public transportation? The capital city/sela/ideal/hope matrix. Two buses, one goes to fort totten, the other to takoma metro. No provisions if the metro is out, no direct route to downtown, or any useful transfer points, both buses run (roughly and not really) every "twenty" minutes, which is more like every hour in practice, Both are packed with schoolkids busting their asses to get to and from their schools in the least efficient way possible.

Charters are optional. DC should not recreate trans to get kids to optional schools.

Equal access is not equal if kids can't get to school. Show me how to take public transportation to cmi, again. Show me the number of kids who manage to do it. Show me how many of them dont make it when the weather turns. We don't have crossing guards at major intersection, we don't pay for bussing ([b]although what is paid for special Ed kids would cover all children easily[/b]), and we don't have equal access, since a child's ability to attend the school of their choice, dcps or charter, is entirely determined by their parents' ability to get them there.[/quote]

What data do you have to support this outrageous claim?  DC pays almost $100 million just for special education transportation.

How, specifically, do you plan to create personalized transportation for all public school students that doesn't change that number?

I'll wait.[/quote]
