Ludington,MI,USA -The Ludington Daily News, by Kevin Braciszeski -May 15, 2010: -- Ludington’s out-of-town school bus routes could change from double runs to single runs next school year and bike trails may be built in the district’s school forest... Superintendent, Cal DeKuiper, has said the change will save the district $70,000 even if it buys two more used school buses. The change would reduce the district’s bus travel by 250 miles a day, or about 35 gallons of fuel a day for the 7-mile-per-gallon buses... In-town bus routes would stay the same with children in grades K-5 being picked up at neighborhood bus stops and students in grades 6-12 walking to Pere Marquette, Foster or Lakeview schools to catch buses to the high school/middle school complex... DeKuiper has also said the district will consider keeping younger children near the driver at the front of the bus and said the district may add cameras to all the buses...Labels: bikes vs. buses, buses and bikes
