You’re right, I don’t get it.
Why is it expected that kids should be able to walk to school? Seems like that’s a pretty blinkered view by someone who never leaves the city? In a rural district, very few kids can do that, and that’s why there are buses for everyone else.
Also, why wouldn’t school buses work in a denser area? That’s why they have multiple school buses doing multiple routes.
All the usual arguments for mass transit should apply for school buses, too. Density should make providing bus service easier, not harder.
- fragmede 2y ago> Why is it expected that kids should be able to walk to school? Because we typically don't let kids drive. If they're able to walk to school then they can walk themselves to and from school without the help of an adult (even one driving the bus), once they are responsible enough to.
- skybrian 2y agoThat’s a circular argument. There’s nothing wrong with relying on a bus driver or taking a bus. Adults do it, too.
