Is that what happens when the school can no longer afford petrol for the bus down under?

We don't have US style school buses. Parents get their own kids to school (or public transport); otherwise they're typically close enough to walk/ride to.

In Primary School, everyone walked or biked.
Some pussies got dropped off by mum (mum's didn't work back then).
In High School, about a quarter came on the bus.
They were government busses with dedicated school routes.

Private Schools in my area had their own buses.

Nothing like that where I lived.

In high school, if you weren't dropped off you biked/walked. If you were from further away you got a public bus (there was a bus stop just inside the school near the Y12 student car park, but it was just a Met stop same as any other) and you bought a ticket from the driver. We were kind of on the edge of suburbia and there were a couple of towns within 5-10k where kids came to our school too.

Primary school I was mostly dropped/picked up by mum but as an adult it's probably a 5-10 min max walk.
