There is no way whatsoever under any circumstance the District can save 4.4 million on bus/transportation. When it doesn’t materialize I can hear it already. “The price of gas went up. Buses are expensive. Bus drivers charge a lot of money. Insurance is super high. The roads are bumpy.” These things are all true right now!

If anything, D65 should be conservative and not liberal with their future bus costs.
Beep! beep! I don’t have time for more bus nonsense.
Yeah, pinning the future of the District's financial health on an extremely volatile cost center majorly impacted by external conditions is not a great idea! But it gives everyone plausible deniability.
Also! Don't forget in 2020 we actually bailed out one of the bus companies during COVID and never put any of their contracts for bid.
Some Districts own their buses. Of course D65 doesn’t and it’s too late to take that expense on. I think transportation services are better when Districts maintain their own buses and employ their own drivers. It’s nutty to me to contract for something so very serious where so much safety and precision is required. But hey, pass the accountability stick.

*future bus cost savings*
I'd like to propose we start a bus company. At the very least we can get into a competitive bidding situation.
