In doing some research on the Routes that serve Rochester City Schools, I came up with a list of Rochester,NY city schools served by more than one Regional Transit Service route. Here are the schools and the routes serving them:
1.Marshall High, 1-Lake, 10-Dewey,16-Crosstown
2.Franklin High, 4-Hudson, 14 Ridge
3.McQuaid High, 18/19 University,11-S. Clinton
4.School No.9, 7/7X Clinton, 11/11X Joseph
5.School No.25, 3/3X Goodman,9/9X Bay/Webster
6.School No.39, 2/2X Thurston,3/3X Goodman,4-Genesee
7.Dake Middle,5/5X St. Paul,7/7X Clinton
8.School No.50, 7/7X Clinton,11/11X Joseph
9.School No.37, 2/2X Thurston,4/4X Genesee
10.School No.41,10/10X Dewey,15-Latta
Some of these routes also serve several other schools plus several Catholic schools as well. As of the June 30,2008 set of timetables, these routes have been restructured from what RTS had been operating before in order to comply with the FTA ruling about the school transportation. Certain trips on these and other routes offer seamless, one-seat transfers from one route to another between selected pairs of routes. Since Laidlaw changed its name to First Student, by their past actions, they left the City School District, RTS and the City the impression that they were not interested in serving the city school kids. It is such whining that causes problems for transit systems in cities like Rochester. Private company acts like it is not interested in serving the Rochester City School District and when they see regularly scheduled RTS buses providing the service, both to the general public as well as the school kids involved, they went whining to the Federal Transit Administration, in light of the fact that the NFTA in Buffalo, had been doing essentially the same thing with its 100 series routes, for years and the old Niagara Frontier Transit System before that. |
