It's absolutely ridiculous how hard the school systems make it to get on a bus route.

You basically have to stay at the same residence and at the same school for their entire education. Even just moving within the district and they use it as an excuse to "put you on a wait list".

Add in the shortage of drivers (who wants that job) and any excuse they can use to change boundaries or cut a route.

It's like the fucking DMV on steroids.

That is crazy. I didn't realize how bad it is in some areas. I live in a red state and have moved every year or two, and was able to get bus service with very little issue.

However, that does sound like the struggle with getting after school care. You pretty much need to get in the back of the line for every school and hope you'll get a spot so you can continue to work and pay rent.

I am curious where you are located, this has not been my experience working closely with our schools.
