Buses and our public transportation system as a whole are often taken for granted. While most people only see the simple services that buses provide, these services make up the foundation for our entire society.
Peter W. Cookson of the American Institutes of Research gave a presentation at the recent STN EXPO on exactly this issue and how recent thinking about public transportation often forgets that busing is a great equalizing force that helps shape a free, public education. His video is below, but more information from STN EXPO can be found at stnonline.com.
