3. With six school busses at a cost of about $3,000 there could be a trip to and from Liberty Mall/Valley Forge every ten minutes. Actually they would need seven to account for load/unload times.
The campaign OWES it to the people who actually put together this rally (and no HQ didn't do that, it was us us grassroots people) to get that bus route in place.
Here are charter bus companies in the Philly area. One of them lists 2 school busses for $400 each for five hours. It also has five coach busses, which are far more comfortable to travel in of course, for $600. So we could get our busses from that company (5 motorcoaches + 2 school busses) for a total of $3,800. That would get us transportation to/from Liberty Mall every 10 minutes.
