I have been saying that about the high schools for the longest time. Go sit
in front of a high school and look at how empty the busses are and how full
the students cars are! My kid drove himself and four of his friends to
school every day the last two years of school.

I don't know how high school students get to school these days, or what the
current use by students of the bus system is, but it might save $ to give
them all MetroTransit passes and sell the buses. Might be an incentive to
expand the bus routes.

One way to reduce the costs of busing kids to school would be to encourage
more kids to walk or bike to school. Some districts have organized groups of
kids to walk to school together as a way to make it safe and enjoyable.

Doing this would not only save the SPPS money but would also foster healthy
behavior. So, tell me why this couldn't work in St. Paul. Or tell me that
the district is, in fact, doing this already.
