How are kids gonna get to school otherwise? It's a good idea to travel in a group at that age, but not always practical.

Where I live (Canada) those are only for disabled children or those attending a school more than 1.5 km away from where they live. And after the age of 10, they take public transit.

This thread is making me realize how variable different locales are on this.

It really is. We don't generally have dedicated school buses here, just a public transit system that takes school scheduled into account. I took a public bus to school, on my own, on my very first day of school at age 6.

In my town, if you live within a mile of the school, you don’t get bus service. It’s assumed you will walk

Not all towns have bus service.
