There are two ways of transportation which is the choice of the student which is going to school. Most students will be taking the bus to school. The utopia of Lucette is going to be divided into sections. Each section will have a school bus assigned to them. There will be many divisions so that the buses could pick up and drop of their school kids as quickly as possible. Lucette does not allow driving cars to school because it is perferred to pollute as little as possibel so the air is fresher and healthy for the residents. The second way of transportation is walking to school if the child lives nearby.
