Look at those faces! They have that dreaded look of having fo ride the bus. Do you often look like this after school? How do you Travel? More than a dozen buses travel in a twelve to fourteen mile radius in order to take 49 percent of fhe sfudent body fo and from school. When asked if rid¬ ing fhe bus is a pleasure, Jason McGann and Travis Fitzgerald replied: It ' s too loud, we ' re not allowed to eat or drink, and the bus drivers are mean. Another student said, Riding the bus is a pain. Gas stations must make money from sfudenfs because 22 percent of the stu¬ dents drive. Those drivers bring 23 per¬ cent of other students to school. One person made the remark, It beats the heck out of riding the school bus, when asked about driving to school. Connie Arehart replied, I leave school early, so I have to drive. Sometimes, I have things to do or somebody to see, so that means I only get there if I drive. Jill Rau is a passenger. She rides to school with her brother and she stated, It bothers me when my brother yells at me or I have to walk because he has basket¬ ball practice. Not all students arrive at school on wheels. Approximately, 6 percent of the students walk to school for many reasons including exercise as one person remarked. Another person said that she didn ' t mind walking to school and that she could ride the bus if she wanted. Stephanie May said, I used to walk to school because the buses never went to the high school or picked up high school students. I hated walking, so I got my license and I drive now.
