if children's needs were taken into account when designing transit systems, then school buses wouldn't be taking kids to school at 7 a.m.

Isn't this only older cohorts? (Though ironically it may be the teens who need to sleep in the most.)

I believe it's done as a cost cutting measure to maximize usage of the bus fleet.

sure, but my point is that despite all the rhetoric, when it comes to actually spending money, kids seem to get the short end of the stick.
