<p>Where I live, there is no public school bussing provided if one lives 2 miles from the elementary school and 3 miles from the middle or high school. We just meet the cut for the middle school bus but it is insane, very dangerous for ANY one to walk from my area to the local elementary school because it involves walking along a hilly, curvy busy road with no sidewalk, no pathway even, little shouder or even leeway. It’s treacherous. Fortunately for the school district, the homes up that hill are all for high income families so the kids either go to private schools and bussing is provided due to distances to any of them, or the parents drive them to school. However, there are low income areas, along busy roads that are quite the distance from the school, and, yes, those kids walk. Alone, in packs, some accompanied by a parent but they do walk, rain or shine. </p>
