      Right, because public transit is required by law to stop at every child’s house like a schoolbus. And it would take the same amount or more time because, and I’m not sure you know this, distances don’t get shorter if you use public transit instead of school buses. So I guess kids on public transit are abused too.

        Did I ever claim regular busses are faster? They are better because more people can use them, thus lowering the amount of cars on the road which reduces pollution more while not losing much or any utility for kids getting to school.

        You seem weirdly upset with the off-hand comment I made that a 8 hour commute every work day would be child abuse. I’m not sure if long commutes cured your cancer or something but chill.

          Huh. Why would I find a comment suggesting children should be taken away from their parents due to long bus ride times to be objectionable?

          I can’t imagine…
