I'm all for kids taking busses and walking but there's also a bus driver shortage.

If you increase pay... The shortage disappears.

They work a couple hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon. Its essentially part time. Who wants that?

So... Increase pay? Or stagger school schedules so they drive all day. These problems have solutions.

Adjusting school schedules is not the fix. Now you have parents that have to adjust all of THEIR jobs for a handful of bus drivers. Get your city transit to run a few routes. That's what they did for awhile in Richland. Or it wouldn't kill the little darlings to walk.
