[quote=Anonymous][quote]So bus routes to these schools from every neighborhood in the city? What about all the KIPPPs, Friendship, Roots, Bethune, Eagle Academy and the other 100+ charters? What about if my kid in NE gets into Hardy OOB? Multiply that by 70,000. No you need to have adequate bus option to your IB middle school. That is the only thing you're entitled to.[/quote]

I think the word "entitled" is problematic here. It's not a question of being entitled. It's a question of logic. All those schools should have at least one bus, that connects with other transit that coincides with school hours within a block or two of their campuses. And no--that's NOT unreasonable. Other cities manage it just fine. Take existing bus routes, re-route a few blocks, add a stop. Adjust the schedules, make sure they aren't rush-hour only, make sure that schools over a mile from the nearest metro have a connecting option. This is public transportation 101.

If I look on Hopstop it's easier for me to get to Moco schools from my dc house than to use DC buses to get to DC schools. There's a problem. The answer is not for everyone to drive.[/quote]
