I am hopeful it will help set-up mass transit comfort for her for the future... I love that when we travel to another city, and I say "subway", "bus", "train", she doesn't even flinch, but calls "window." We've both made great friends and learned alot about the world around us by having a comfort level with public transport.

Also, I annualized the mileage: 1800 miles a year! If you're rocking an SUV, that's about $400-500 (about $160 for us in the Prius). Either way, that's a lot of money to pay for bus-riding aversion.

I don't blame you for not wanting to drive back and forth all day and all week. As for those lines of traffic jamming parent chauffeurs, I don't remember lines like that at any of the schools when I grew up... it just didn't happen. We all took the bus, walked, or rode our bikes! GOOD LUCK! I don’t blame you for not wanting to drive back and forth all day and all week.
