> In the US, most cities have bussing programs to intentionally give kids long commutes. The goal is to put students from poorer areas in better schools. Busing hasn't been a thing for many years, and never was in use in "most cities". Edit: for those in other countries, "busing" in this context means loading the children who would normally attend one school onto a bus and transporting them to another (often distant) school. The intent behind this was to even out the distribution of races among the schools. It never did work well (not the least because essentially all of the students and parents involved hated it), and was effectively banned by a series of Supreme Court decisions starting in the 1990s.
