I'd bet the municipal bus fleet is/was owned by the city & it would have been unnecessary for anyone to commandeer them, as they would have been at the Mayor's disposal.

That must be what the City of NO Plan means by City Assets would be used to evacuate anyone unable to evacuate themselves. My mistake for ASSUMING it meant School buses. I did see a post where a Freeper linked to the, I think LA Dept of Education that listed something like 5,000+ buses OWNED by the Parrishes in and arround NO as well as another 8000+ that were owned by private contractors.

I was surprised to see NO schools owned *any* buses, cuz I believe all of the school bussing around here is done by private contractors, including the entire City of Milwaukee.

After reading back to another post on this thread, NO School District put their school buses at the Mayor's disposal, so it would not have been necessary for him to have commandeered any of them & they would have been included in the city's evac plan. How many of those floating buses were own by the school district & how many of them are owned by private contractors, I have no idea.
