In a Big Yellow School Bus?!?!?!?!?!?
This idea actually has some merit to it!

Commuters May Soon Ride School Buses To Work

New Plan Would Use School Buses to Transport Commuters
Metro Bus Station
Soaring gas prices and dirty air... those are just two of the reasons you're being urged to take the bus this summer. We've heard this all before -- but apparently not enough are getting the message. So a meeting today will try to find more alternatives for public transportation in greater Cincinnati.

A plan introduced by Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune would use school buses, sitting idle during the summer months, to help transport commuters.

Portune says he's also hoping the plan will keep the Cincinnati region from being fined for failure to meet Clean Air Act standards.

Portune will meet with school superintendents, SORTA officials, elected officials and community leaders this morning to talk about his plan.
Portune also met with Butler County Commissioners to push for creation of a multi-county transit authority for suburban bus lines.


So pack your lunch and dont forget your homework!

Just ask your kids if you've forgot proper bus behavior. I'm sure they can tell you which seats are the best as well. [img]wink.gif[/img]

I'd call Todd Portune a horse's ass, but that's an insult to horses everywhere. The man needs to put down the crack pipe and pay attention to real problems.
