That, alone, may be part of the traffic problem. We all pay local taxes to support the school systems, and then don't use the bus-transportation systems when they are available.
A lot of districts have policies dictating who may ride the bus, usually excluding children who live within a couple of miles. Sure, they could maybe walk that, but a lot of parents aren't comfortable with their children walking to school in some areas in today's world. Can't say as I blame them.

Good point. And, let's face it....back when you and I first got our licenses (I got mine some 45 years ago.....I suspect you're somewhat younger), what's the very first thing we wanted to do with it? Drive to and from school, of course, preferably with our friends. By that time, most of us were sick and tired of riding the bus each day.

I never rode the bus a single day after I got my license. That was only 8 years ago for me.
I had actually stopped riding the bus a couple years earlier due to my dad taking a job at the school, so I always had a ride.
With society being what it is today, a lot of runners/lawyers would have sued the local county school board (or maybe the bus driver) over an incident like that.
He was a good sport about it as he had kids too.
