I presume US schools have to buy/rent busses and pay bus drivers? Specifically to drive kids to/from school?
Instead of the council (or whatever) subsidising routes that connect new builds to schools, and giving under 16s free bus travel.

    Yes, in the smaller cities and towns where things tend to be more spread out. The is not reliable public transportation.

    Big cities like NYC and LA don't normally bus children to school. They are usually close to the school and can walk or take public transit.

    Very mixed. Just for my kids ….

    • walked to elementary school
    • car to middle school (because they classified it as walkable but it was very long plus had to cross two major streets)
    • car to high school - private school several towns away. School was Actually on the subway … the other direction
