Under the revised schedule, it's middle school buses and helicopter parents in their SUV's who will be off the road by that hour. The two groups are merely trading places. You didn't seem to have a very good grasp of that.

Bulletin: Nobody but you cares about little old you. Mommy won't be coming over to kiss it better. Adapt or die. Meanwhile, the whole change was done to stuff a sock in the mouth of the obnoxious right-wing "populists" at SLEEP, Inc. Bunch of brown-shirted hussies. Blame them, if you are looking for villains. And at a mere $5 million (much of it for new buses that were and would have been needed anyway), this option was actually one of the cheap ones.
