Episode Details

Austin ISD is slashing bus routes to save cash, shifting middle and high schoolers to neighborhood “hub stops” like schools or libraries — no more door-to-door pickups. Hundreds of hubs are being tested, with a three-mile max travel limit, but safety and logistics concerns are mounting, especially in sidewalk-poor areas. Some schools, including Campbell Elementary and Eastside ECHS, lose district buses entirely, while the Alternative Learning Center’s service is cut. Parents can check their new stop via the Bus Stop Finder tool and weigh in via survey as hubs are fine-tuned for each community.
