After yesterday’s over-crowded bus issue, my employer was considering bringing 801 back to the Valley. This sweet old 16 passenger bus was my main ride for a few years up here, but I don’t know what kind of shape she’s in now.
Hopefully, I’ve come up with a solution that works for both the Victor Elementary School and the Teton Valley Community School, which doesn’t require old 801.
I call it the Six Six Solution. Each school gets six seats on my 12 passenger bus in the afternoon, to fill as they wish. My dispatch accepts the first six Elementary School ride requests on a first come, first serve basis, daily, and the Community School accepts their own six kids in the same manner. At 1500 I stop at Victor Elementary and then at 1505 the Community School and then drop off whatever kids I’ve managed to accumulate, at the Driggs Community Center.
I think this is a great workable solution, and we’ll see what happens…
