Of All Routes; Use Of
Public Transit Seen

in Montgomery County schools dur
ing the next school year may force
many pupils formerly transported
In school buses to use public trans
portation.
This was brought out at the
Board of Education's meeting yes
terday in Rockville.
william B. Marks. director Of
school transportation, said $3.50
pupils used rs school buses last
year. OF this number 2,6l3 were
high school students and 800 were
enrolled in parochial schools.
He said more pupils are expected
to be transported in school buses
next year, since many new homes
are being built where schools are
not readily accessible.
1t was proposed that those living
near public transportation facilities
be prohibited from using school
buses in order to tighten the load.
No action was taken on this sug-
gestion, however.
Mr.. Marks was directed to make
a survey of all school bus routes
with a view to changing them to
take in new subdivisions. He also
was directed to determine how many
children now using school buses
might use public transportation
instead.
