I was going to say "almost every American takes a school bus at one point in their life" then I looked it up and was disgusted to find that recently more children are driven to school than take the bus.

It's absolutely ridiculous how many people drive their kids to school. The traffic reduction during fall break last week was astounding.

It's absolutely ridiculous how hard the school systems make it to get on a bus route.

You basically have to stay at the same residence and at the same school for their entire education. Even just moving within the district and they use it as an excuse to "put you on a wait list".

Add in the shortage of drivers (who wants that job) and any excuse they can use to change boundaries or cut a route.

It's like the fucking DMV on steroids.

I am curious where you are located, this has not been my experience working closely with our schools.
