Students co-mingled with the public, including possible sex offenders that may come aboard, keeping track of those loading and unloading at designated school bus stops? So much more to school busing than simply picking up and delivering children.<br />Not feasible and as a parent, unacceptable.

Point is no reason why Lanta can't pick up high school students in Easton at a point Easterly and run to to West to the high school during a regular rout. They go the same direction so it is redundant upon the taxpayers dollars /buses are mostly open for seat capacity . They need smaller buses and less seating.They waist more than they can pay for on fee's charged here.Peter J.Cochrannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-4086278332763248432014-08-21T11:23:54.018-04:002014-08-21T11:23:54.018-04:00@ 5:46

More fuel efficient than the 7-10 mpg straight diesels get. <br /><br />Not sure what you mean by school buses being redundant to LANTA. Two different services.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-82140715008812971052014-08-21T10:33:15.953-04:002014-08-21T10:33:15.953-04:00Ms Shaffer might one to look at the recent audit f...Ms Shaffer might one to look at the recent audit from the state which will require LANTA to return over 1M to the state.

How is taxpayer funded , loser LANTA allowed to idle engines downtown Easton with the A/C blowen,after rules about diesel idling by the federal government?UPS does not do it because it's costly. UPS pay their own freight ? LANTA is in need of smaller class busses and keep them moving. They tie up traffic that hold back commerce that pays for them.They should also be co-ordinated as SCHOOL BUSES ,taxpayers get whacked by the redundancy of the school transportation dept.and other exorbitant cost.
