Agree that school transportation is a solved problem. Shoving more cars into carpool lanes in schools with 2-3 kids per car (tops) instead of more efficient bus

Agree that school transportation is a solved problem. Shoving more cars into carpool lanes in schools with 2-3 kids per car (tops) instead of more efficient buses seems like a backwards step.
They did not adequately answer the trust problem either.
- joejerryronnie 7y agoThis service is a different use case than the normal school busing service. It's ideal for one-off edge cases where the district is required to provide transportation but the normal bus service won't work - i.e. off hours, special needs, etc. With that said, it's a valuable but fairly niche service. Not sure something like this can quickly scale up to VC required levels.
- Eridrus 7y agoSchool buses are only efficient with certain road/student layouts.
- chrisbrandow 7y agoNot solved for the foster care system where kids are temporarily living in the wrong school district, so it doesn’t make sense to move them into a new school. There is an unbelievable amount of terrible ad hoc solutions. A dispatchable service like this is really helpful. (My wife is an attorney for such kids)
