bus ride from BSG to Norton?

[TheBeast]

So what the poor pampered little buggers will have a longer bus ride. My wife caught the bus in Breathitt county at 6:30 every morning and was on it for an hour+ to get to school everyday. I have seen many times coming back from Breathitt early to make it to work kids standing out waiting on the bus as early as 6:00 and they do just fine, and these are kids out on Hwy 15 only about 15-20 minutes from the school. Breathitt is a much larger county, (as far as geographical size not population) and doesn't have two major 4-lane highways criscrossing it. Come to think of it, 15 is the only major highway in the county and most of it is 2 lane. Of course they are now working on building a new 4-lane hwy. but where it is won't help school traffic throughout most of the county.

Many RC students are on the bus for over an hour. No big deal.

I lived 3 miles from school.
The bus ride for me was 45 minutes.
I never thought a thing about it.

OK, since all of you are trying to show me I'm wrong let me point this out to you. You all are acting like all the kids in BSG will be getting on the bus at the current PV High School then going straight to the new proposed school. as you know this will be wrong. the bus will be going into BSG to pick up the students. Plus what about all the kids in the Valley? Yes, a bus will have to run there also. So all the comments about how many stops the bus will make on the 4-lane? well zero. how many stops will the bus make in the town and in the valley?????

No just thinking that extra time wise it is not THAT bad

Take the regular bus routes. The buses will make their regular runs (valley, in town, outskirts, etc.), but instead of stopping at PVHS they keep driving to the new location. Add about 20 minutes to their regular run time.

It takes me 15 minutes on a slow day to get from the middle of Norton to the middle of BSG.

I'm not saying they'll keep the exact same bus runs, but this is just a time example to go by.

It will be the same just add 20 minutes for the trip up the 4-lane, not a big deal really.

I agree that time wise it shouldn't be a big deal. These are HS kids, not 1st graders. I was just curious what kind of time would be spent on the bus by the kids. If it were the younger kids it would make a huge difference I think.

im not getting where you are coming from either man, 20 minutes more than the regular routes isnt bad.

The way I understand what has been proposed for the Appy kids are the same bus routes to the elem school and filling the buses to the high school from there. I would think it would work about the same for the rest of us.
