    Ah. It’s not disinformation. I wasn’t going off figures of public school buses that in no way could be rented. I was going off the amount of busses in service for private operation.

    There are approximately 66,180 revenue vehicles available for maximum service in the public transit sector of the United States.

    From the transit authority database: https://www.transit.dot.gov/ntd

    Which based on your math is enough to carry 800k to 2.4 million at once if used to maximum capacity (and depending on bus size).
