Wow! Amazing how many doofus’ there are in school who have never taken a true economics class. They’ve been taught that “free rides” are their right.

Enough tax dollars are taken from their parents to cover transportation to and from school, this is just another union money grab.

I believe that it says right there in the Constitution that people are entitled to free bus rides along with free housing, education, food and cars.
