6 million people / 60 people per bus = 100K buses. If each bus made 10 trips, that's still 10K buses. If you assigned each bus to one of 100 evacuation depots

6 million people / 60 people per bus = 100K buses.
If each bus made 10 trips, that's still 10K buses.
If you assigned each bus to one of 100 evacuation depots around the city, that's 100 buses per depot.
It would take a remarkable team to manage a depot like that, and you would need 100 such teams. Plus 30K drivers. Plus refueling logistics. Plus pit crews.
"Just put them on buses" is easy to write and enormously hard to pull off.
- flukus 9y ago> 6 million people How many in low lying, flood prone areas?
- dx034 9y agoHow many school busses do you have in 500mi radius? Would guess it's probably around that area. They have drivers and could be in the area in <10hrs after the plan is activated.
- dctoedt 9y ago> They have drivers and could be in the area in <10hrs after the plan is activated. You think so, eh? What percentage of drivers do you think would show up, given that many of their families would be in danger themselves?
