A not-unimportant side effect of this shortage is that it is almost impossible to book a regular field trip (museum, performance, etc.) for any class. CPS schools are on staggered start/end times to allow for each bus to service multiple routes. My school has a late start. I wanted to book a trip last year. Pickup at 10am? OK. But we had to be back by 1:00 pm. With traffic/travel time, we would get 1.5 hours max at our destination. Not worth it, especially at $250-$400 per bus.
