To add, if you miss the school bus in the morning you cant just walk over to another bus stop and take a different school bus, at least in the district i grew up. You’re assigned a specific bus to ride before and after school and taking a different bus could mean detention to a full ban from riding the bus because it’s “a privledge, not a right” according to the district.
I ran into issues every school year because my parents were separated with shared, joint, custody, but my school district couldnt grasp the idea of me living in two homes, in two completely different parts of the city, and needing two completely different bus routes. They kept insisting I could only have 1 home address, but I literally swapped homes every Friday so I lived in each 50% of the year.
Thats pretty fucked up. School busses 100% show how there are many layers of society who cant take private transport but we decide to ignore everyone except school kids.
