SATSUMA, Alabama -- Satsuma City Schools officials are seeking bids from vendors to buy two 2015 school buses to bolster an aging fleet. But new buses don't come cheap: Estimates range from $65,000 to $85,000, depending on how the bus is equipped. For example, buses used to transport special education students must have air conditioning.
When you consider how expensive it is to operate both buses and rail systems, the cost to carry each passenger when the vehicles are empty can be quite high. For example, if in the course of one hour a bus only carries 6 people, it could easily cost the transit agency $20 to carry each passenger.On the other hand, a full bus that carries 60 people per hour only costs the transit agency $2 per passenger, which is likely not much more than the fare the passenger is paying.hen you consider how expensive it is to operate both buses and rail systems, the cost to carry each passenger when the vehicles are empty can be quite high.
