"Kids are our future, without them are nothing!" belts out a stay-at-home mother, holding a welfare docket for her children.

Your Education Minister, Mr O'Hanraha-hanrahan, takes out a black briefcase, straightens his tie and suggests that "We need to consolidate bus runs! Surely, children can walk just 5 more minutes if it means we can run one bus instead of two. In fact, my predictions say that we can reduce the cost of busses by 48% by this technique!" Opening his briefcase, he slides over three detailed graphs. "As you can see, it will benefit national health as well. Cut funding, now!"

Children now walk half an hour to the nearest bus.

Option 3:
"Why should I pay for those bastards!" yells a fifty year old looking man, with greying hair. "I work six bloody hours a week, for some twats to have an actual field day with my, MY MONEY. It's outrageous. We need to scrap state bussing services, totally." He concludes, while menacingly eyeing down a toddler that has breached his personal space.

"He's got a point, but his solution is like totally wack!" shouts the local representative for the Libertarian Party, from the crowd. As he approaches you, he continues, "We just need to make bus system private, and make the students pay for it! Therefore, the system will be efficient and cheap." He concludes, while walking down a public road.
Fallout:
Poor students are now often hours later to class then their rich playmates.
