Should they start putting bathrooms in school buses?

I'm a freshman in high school. My bus ride is half an hour to and from school. Almost every day, at least one person has to use the bathroom, but thy can't because school buses don't have bathrooms. Some people, including me, have wet their pants on the bus. The only way to solve this is to put in bathrooms. That way, we can all go to the bathroom whenever we want and not have to hold it and wet our pants. Is this a good idea?

1. Go to the bathroom before you leave home.
2. Or better idea...go to the bathroom before you leave to and from school. its only half an hour. your only excuse is if you have the bladder of a gerbil http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2neEG72UCQ8
3. Half an hour isn't all that long of a time to hold your pee. I recommend you pee before you get on the bus. It's generally a good idea for coaches, because they make much longer journeys, but it's not necessary for school buses.
4. Is this a serious question. What do you think adults do on city buses with a ride of up to an hour? They use the bathroom before boarding the bus
5. no dear the trip is too short . what you need to do is find the time to go to the bathroom before you get on the bus.
6. no
7. You are a freshman and you wet your pants? Ether you are a troll who delights in embarrassing himself OR you really are that stupid. Ether way the solution is simple, and doesn't cost the bus companies any money. Go to the bathroom before you get the bus, and don't drink so much fluid.
8. It sounds like some kids have ever pissed out of a school bus through a window:--)) There's no bathroom even in other public buses, not even in my very clean country like Switzerland. Perhaps the school board can increase the school fee may be? it would cost a lot for lots of school buses.
9. Seriously, go to the bathroom before you leave. (Take all of these peoples' advice..) A lot of people (myself included) commute almost two hours every morning and evening to university/work/etc.; a half hour is not very long. If you still can't hold it even if you go to the restroom before you leave your home, then you may have some kind of bladder infection or something that you should get checked out. Hopefully that helps! :)
10. It would be too costly to do this.
11. An hour and a half is not a long time to hold having to go to the bathroom, I have gone much longer. You have to remember to go before you get on the bus.
