It's not the size of the bus that's the issue. It's the extensive routes
that must be run. If you put all the kids on one bus going to three
different destinations and all the schools start at the same time, you still
have to start before the crack of dawn in order to pick up all the kids and
make three dropoffs, being sure to get the last third to their school on
time....which, remember, starts at the same time as the first school. And
then reverse the process in the afternoon. Don't forget that it can take
10-15 minutes at each school just to get the buses loaded. Don't you want
to be in that first group? Now *everyone* has a very long day. If you put
them all on the same bus and still stagger the start times to account for
the extra distances between schools, you'll have the first group spending a
whole lot of extra time on that bus waiting for the other two groups to
finish, both in the morning and afternoon.
Since you seem to have all the answers, I am just shocked that your services
haven't been demanded as a visiting urban planner.
