In NYC, every day between 3-4pm, the streets and public transit are packed with groups of kids hanging out and getting home from school.
Then between 5-6pm it shifts to adult commuters, just as packed.
I’ve always thought that that was cool. There’s these two groups both using the system, separated by a few hours, living parallel lives.
And the kids seem to have a lot of fun here.

If I were a parent, I would not be concerned about letting my children take public transit / walk home as a group during 3-4pm. The city really is filled with other kids doing the same thing.
