Some states are different but who knows...

i wouldn't be surprised if they simply couldn't afford a schoolbus.

Hmmm definitely illegal. Least you guys didnt get in an accident.
The reason I'm wondering cos when you take something other than a schoolbus, the liability. If something happened to the kiddies in the transit bus, the teachers, school, principal, district, would be ruined. There's a bigger chance of kids being hurt around a transit bus cos they're not trained the same way we are, they don't have all the mirrors to look for kids as well. so...

Im gonna shut up now!
