Reply to comment by moderndukes in Why Don’t Baltimore City Schools Have School Buses? by GovernorOfReddit

We don’t get to go on any field trips. It costs about $2000 to rent a bus to go anywhere that isn’t within walking distance. Meaning we can’t take our kids to places like the science center, port discovery, the zoo, a planetarium, a theater, any fun locations to celebrate our successful scholars, that live science shit near fells, any trails or hikes that are 20mins out driving.

Not having a bus is an issue. It sucks that we cannot take them anywhere unless we fundraise money for it.

Is there a way to use public transportation for this?

Obviously yes but I really don’t see how can can fit approx 30-50 kids. We have large classes and it’s easier when our field trips involve more than one class with the goal of going to point xyz, especially for shows, productions etc.

We don’t have access to transportation as readily as we should and it sucks.
