Ohhhh.... if we go outside the scope of just the busses themselves, we get into the retarded mandates that guide the construction of new schools.
In my town they shuttered quite a few "neighborhood" schools, where many of the kids could walk/bike there, in favor of a big new colossus way out on the edge of town where NOBODY is going to walk to it. Now it's ALL bussing, and longer commutes for almost ALL staff. Brilliant, eh?
