校车可能是一个关键的教育政策杠杆，打破了学校和社区之间的联系，并促进了学校的选择。然而，人们对公交乘客的通勤情况知之甚少，包括乘坐公交车的平均时间，或者长时间通勤是否会损害学业成绩。我们开始填补这一空白，使用来自纽约市的数据，探索超过12万名公交乘客的早晨通勤。我们发现，长时间乘坐公共汽车是不常见的，那些长时间乘坐公共汽车是不成比例的黑人，更有可能参加特许或地区选择学校。我们发现长时间乘坐公共汽车对地区选择学生的出勤率和长期缺勤的有害影响。
School buses may be a critical education policy lever, breaking the link between schools and neighborhoods and facilitating access to school choice. Yet, little is known about the commute for bus riders, including the average length of the bus ride or whether long commutes harm academic outcomes. We begin to fill this gap using data from New York City to explore the morning commutes of more than 120,000 bus riders. We find that long bus rides are uncommon and that those with long bus rides are disproportionately Black and more likely to attend charter or district choice schools. We find deleterious effects of long bus rides on attendance and chronic absenteeism of district choice students.
