Bussing seems terribly bad for the environment when kids could walk to school instead.

  Some of us live where it snows.

  And along with my sibling comment, not all schools are walking distance. The county I live in (unified school district, 4 (5 since last year?) high schools with 1000+ students in each), is 30 miles or so in diameter (approximated as a circle). You would need many schools (and the necessary faculty and staff) to make them walking distance for all their students. Urban sprawl is certainly largely to blame here, but once it's set in it can't be undone by mandating everyone move to within walking distance of their children's schools.
