Nyc School Bus Service

Even if your kids are in Private School in the city (Educating Kids In Nyc), you can get either yellow-bus service, or a pass to use on the public Mass Transit.

But here are some questions we just passed in:

1. how soon will the pass be delivered?

2. when will we see the realistic pick/drop-off yellow-bus schedule?

3. Is it possible to mix the 2 kinds of service? Our kids have Tae Kwon Do class 3 days a week, and it makes sense for them to be picked up by our babysitter and walked there, then take the public bus home. So would it be possible to have yellow-bus service for 5 mornings and 2 afternoons, with a pass to cover the 3 public-bus trips?

4. What's the process for changing options? In other words, if we take the public pass now, and decide in a month that we'd like them to use the yellow-bus, can we switch then, or do we have to stick with a single plan for the whole semester, or whole year?

5. Can we have them "try" the yellow-bus for a couple trips? What's the process for that?
