What is bussing or busing?

Busing or bus transportation refers to the use of buses to transport people, usually for commuting or school transportation purposes.

Busing is a common transportation method for students attending public schools, especially those who live far away from their school or in areas that are difficult to reach by other means of transportation. Busing is also used by companies and organizations to transport employees or groups of people to work, events, or other destinations.

Buses used for busing vary in size, from small vans to large buses that can accommodate dozens of passengers. They can be owned and operated by school districts, private companies, or public transit authorities.

While busing is a convenient and cost-effective transportation option, it has also been a controversial topic due to its impact on issues such as integration, school districting, and the environment.
