Each round trip bus ride will take about an hour. I will not be providing you with tokens or bus fare. The cost of this assignment is however, tax deductible. You will be going through a number of very different neighborhoods. The 49 bus cuts through the neighborhoods of Capitol Homes, Turner Field, and Thomasville. Each of these neighborhoods has high rates of poverty, around 35%. As a point of comparison the rate of poverty for the state of Georgia is 12.1 %. The threshold for poverty is income under $19,807 for a FAMILY OF FOUR. ER -
