Rural students endure long morning bus rides across wide county
In Finney and Wichita Counties rural districts rely on 35 drivers to shuttle about 3,500 students over 928 square miles. Riders describe rough roads, washboarding, and early starts with daylight saving time. Front-seat trips provide breakfast and easier listening, while back seats offer bumps and rear views.
