Others will have a different count I'm sure but in the picture where the buses are parked in rows I counted 224. I didn't enlarge the photo to do the counting so I probably missed some at the edges. If we assume 40 passengers per bus that amounts to 8960 people per trip.

Amazing . .really . .when you think about it.

The way I see it . .you can work the numbers 2 ways.

1) Assume the manditory evacuation was given by the gov on Friday when it should have. This would leave us with all day Friday, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday for these unused busses to run.

2) Assume the late reaction that really happened, which yields only Saturday and Sunday.

If we only assume trips on Saturday and Sunday and just 10 trips a day to someplace outside the city that gets 179200 people out. With a baseline of 224 buses with 40 people per trip. But it's Bush's fault so just forget all this.
