500-700 buses, 50 people on each bus. 25,000-35,000 evacuated leaving 100,000 behind. I'm sure you would be happy to tell us who were going to go first and explain the ensuing riots that would have occurred at the pickup location

Might as well not use the buses then...Ughhh.

"In scripted appearances being recorded now, officials such as Mayor Ray Nagin, local Red Cross Executive Director Kay Wilkins and City Council President Oliver Thomas drive home the word that the city does not have the resources to move out of harm's way an estimated 134,000 people without transportation."

The operative words aren't "does not have the resources", it's "won't use the resources"

BTW: What's the repair bill on the 1500 or so flooded buses?
