Exactly. Does bussing help the individual or simply get them out of your way?

Sometimes returning people to their support networks in other states can be a solution, but “banishing” doesn’t sound legal or ethical.

According to the article, some of the people were helped by the busing program. When they were "banished", they had entered a contract not to use homeless services in that locale.

If they were not helped, were they any worse off? That question wasn't answered.
