Still does generally. Sometimes city administration is picky in granting these tickets, but my city is a special case when it comes to money anyway. In Munich for example the subway is usually crowded with children around 7:30.

Poland, tickets here are free for kids under 7 and for primary school kids with valid school ID... And 50% discount for higher education.
That's in addition to long range school busses.

I just walked to school. I never needed to take a bus or the car except when I lived far in the countryside. I'm talking about Spain.
Anyway schools sometimes have their own bus, parents pay a private company so the bus takes the students either from their home or very close.
In the uni there was special bus lines that went around all the city to the campus.

I know this from my university city, too. It was arranged that way so that students would not overcrowd the normal bus lines.
In the afternoon there are some special lines too, otherwise you just take a normal line with your pupil ticket.
That's at least how it worked in my time, like 20+ years ago.
