Another great thing about ridding the bus...snow days! No worries about driving in the snow or vehicle damage due to someone else not knowing how to drive in it. The last snow storm we had, we watched cars and SUVs struggle to make it up the hill without sliding. The weight of the bus helped it make the hill with no trouble.And unless the weather is horrible, the buses never stop running and are running pretty close to schedule! Can't beat the bus for traveling in the snow.
