$2000 per student per year is insane for a bus service. That's like $10 a day. You could probably UberPool every kid at that price since you'd have a high utilization rate for two narrow 30 min to 1 hour windows each day.
- abfan1127 7y agomy city paid 6 figures annually to have a bus route for 30-40 residents average daily ridership. Bus service is expensive.
- afterburner 7y agoUhhhh, wouldn't they get surge pricing? Plus you're talking about investor-subsidized transport. Sure, it would be nice to have investors subsidize school transport.
- lexapro 7y ago$200 would be more appropriate.
- afterburner 7y agoThat's like 50 cents per ride. There's a reason mass transit isn't that cheap.
