Isn't Alabama the state that always saves us from being last?South Carolina has just arranged to purchase 11-year-old school buses from Alabama. These must already have 100,000 miles on them.
PUNCH LINE: to replace SC buses that are more than twice that age.
Meanwhile, CCSD does its bit in driving up demand.

That would be Mississippi. Still it's a disgrace that we have such a poor school transportation system. It's not just about the age of the bus. What about the bus routes and schedules? How much is Charleston County paying to put kids on vehicles of questionable safety as they travel to schools well beyond local neighborhood school zones? There has to be a better way to do this than relying on the traditional old yellow school bus. We need to change how we approach the issue of transportation if we are to reduce costs, increase safety and promote less time on the road. Hold the school district's bean counters to some consistency in their arguments. Even Mississippi and Alabama are learning how to do this better than SC. That's why they can still sell us their junk.
