Absolutely, if each bus is more heavily -- and efficiently -- used, where reduction in total passenger-miles is the goal. IOW, buses that are more heavily loaded require more driving around to pick up all the children.
As a parent, though, who's son rode the bus for 3 years, my first question would be if this will lengthen bus rides? (A 4% reduction in cost for a 20% increase in ride times would be a definite non-starter in my book.)
As anyone who's watched Dr. Strangelove knows, the DH only works if the other side knows about it.
So, either the Ruskies have told the Americans (who thus know, and are keeping quiet), or the Ruskies are -- as in the movie -- doing it horribly, horribly wrong.
Where in Dallas? If you're starting on the south side or in town, stop at the Arlington supercharger; from the north, the Denton supercharger.
But you're supposed to charge up all night at home, so why in the world would you drive the short distance from home to the SC station and then juice up again? That makes no sense.
There needs to be a SC station between Dallas and Shamrock.
As for southern NM, I don't know what you're talking about.
I googled "Tesla supercharger new mexico" and saw none in the entire southern half of the state. A similar search for Texas doesn't show one in El Paso.
IOW, u charge at your original and then end point using much lower current and price electricity.
And you blindly ignored my point that many people drive long distances where they can't stop overnight to charge, and there's no SC around. For example, tag-team driving across southern Texas to southern AZ.
Not to mention that heat and cold negatively impact battery performance.
Since I already posted a link to the abstract and explicitly stated that there were no pictures of bubbles, maybe your problem is that you need (stronger) glasses.
You need to look at the Texas SC map. It's 306 miles from Dallas to Shamrock. Do you really want to cut things that close? And there are zero SC stations in southern NM.
But, you say, people have to stop and eat, and it's dangerous to drive that long without stopping for rest.
To that I day... team driving. My family and I do that quite often: pack water and supposedly healthy snacks, hop on the Interstate and hit the gas. Every 3-4 hours stop 10 minutes for bathroom, gasoline, and to switch drivers.
You can get damned far across the country in one day doing that, especially after the kids hit age 17.
The shorter the skirt, the more convenient it probably is to take an up-skirt photo. Thus: how short is "long enough" to make up-skirt photos impractical (ankle, calf, knee)?
There was a time when mothers taught girls to sit with their knees together -- even in the 1980s, Paris Hilton's twat shot would have been unthinkable, since women knew the bare minimum on correct behavior.
You lock your apartment/house and car doors, even though you know it's not guaranteed protection against theft. Similarly, knee-length skirts aren't an unreasonable burden to protect one's self against potential up-skirt photos.
you stop on the way there or back, just like you do with gas stations. It's really not a tricky concept.
And when that one SC station happens to be in the opposite direction from where I want to go...? Or it's a long drive and tacking another 30 minutes, and tacking on another 30 minutes is a non-starter?
Table 1. Average prices for gasoline, electricity, and utility (piped) gas, Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County and the United States, June 2016-June 2017, not seasonally adjusted

women who want their voices heard should be in "corporate IT" instead of "high tech". Lots of women crank out boring-but-necessary code all day, then move up to become team leads and higher, or DBAs, etc. (I've not seen any female SysAdmins, though.)
How did gasoline manage to become non-carcinogenic (and neurotoxic, and a whole range of other toxicity effects) in the past 15 years?
Little rubber collars on pump nozzles kept the gas in. Five years ago the rule mandating them was eliminated, because most cars have built-in fume traps. url:http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/10/politics/epa-gas-pump-handles/index.html> It was 70% back then, and I bet it's higher now.
Weather has ceased to exist in the US except in small towns? Or are you saying that US pumps connect themselves to your car on their own like a snake, as well as paying for you with EZ-pass?
EV charging is now very common at hotels. And even if a place doesn't officially offer it, 9 times out of 10, if you call and ask, you get a "yes".
Interesting. I looked at one (https://www.plugshare.com/?location=63496#) and you've got to pay $20. That's a decent price for a tank of gas, but you should be morally outraged at the markup charged, since electricity is so cheap.
But don't you DARE use 80 cents an hour of electricity, or I'll cut you!
That's a serious math fail.
The average cost of electricity in the US is 14.2 cents/kWh. After a long trip, the tank is pretty depleted. In this case, 50 kWh (of a max 60kWh) seems a reasonable requirement to "tank up". That turns out to be $7.10.
Still not much, but (1) it adds up if the visitors are there for a few days, and (2) not everyone has lots of cash to spare.
you have to go plug in at one of the numerous superchargers on the way
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I've looked at the Tesla Supercharger map, and the closest one to me is 35 miles.

I can't read your mind.
You're the one who imposed the "no supercharging at the person's house" requirement
I think one of us changed subjects along the way, and the other didn't see that.
Otherwise, this was a helpful post.
Eventually charging stations will get as ubiquitous as gas stations.

How is showing a video of someone else who cannot consent considered free speech?

It was about 30 years ago when I realized that a little hypocrisy is needed for society to function well.

The kind of stuff he wanted gets stale very fast. That's why he had to keep "hacking".
Or "using a password you picked up while still at the firm"?
I'm not giving you advice; I'm expressing my opinion.
I'm dubious that you can foresee more than your immediate needs. Unexpected life-altering events happen regularly to young people.
most people prefer a society where women don't have to wear burkas just to avoid becoming part of some internet porn site.
Binary comments like this make me sad.
and what is available for charging infrastructure is enough for those times I would need it.
I'm as dubious of that as I am of there ever being a Year of the Linux Desktop.

DX10 was release 10 years ago with Windows Vista, whereas DICE started working on the predecesor to Vulkan just four years ago.
Thus... I'm a bit skeptical about your claims.
At the national average of 14.2 cents/kWh, a 50kw charge (the "tank" is usually pretty empty after a long trip) is $7.10.
Not a lot, but it adds up, and is more than your estimate.
(Fans always underestimate costs and overestimate availability.)
