Amortized. If you wanted to double the bus fleet at once, that would be a heck of a budgetary challenge.

The physical buss represents ~1 year worth of the cost of bussing students up front. Financing that isn’t a major issue for most local governments.

Again assuming there is some net benefit to the economy to offset this cost.
