Reply #15: I don't think they even use school busses around here anymore

[skygazer]

All the parents drive their kids to school and you know what? I'd rather have ONE bus, stopping every 30 feet, than 5000 minivans jockeying for position to get as close as possible to the door of the school. Talk about backing up traffic! There's an elementary school about a mile down the road from me - it's ugly at about 9 am and again at about 3. Idiots backing in and out, morans wandering around their vehicles while little junior toddles out into traffic. And the high school is right in the middle of town and there's no sense trying to get anywhere near any of the surrounding businesses between about 1 and maybe 4 in the afternoon.
