They will take every childs temperature before they are allowed to get on the bus, so a parent is required to be at the bus stop in case the child is not allowed on. Luckily my oldest is a senior and will be driving herself. My son will be a freshman so he can ride with her.
This just reminded me of one of the biggest shit shows for our reopening plan. We contract with the city for transit service. Really, the city's busses wouldn't operate without the university money. Anyway, because of this, we have inner campus shuttles and other university specific routes. These routes are jam packed. Like, standing room only, if that, during the week. During the busy times of the day there is a real chance there will be no room on the bus for you to get across campus. The busses have between 30 and 40 seats in them, depending on the model, and then you have an additional 20 standing. They will be capping the load to 18 people on the busses this fall. This is going to be a mess.
