In our suburb, you even DRIVE to the bus stop lol. We don't have Metro... we have SmartBus, driven by the craziest drivers and I don't know how many times I've almost gotten hit by them. And we also don't have a subway system. Mass transit or whatever people call it isn't an option in our area. I think it'd be completely awesome if we did. I wouldn't get stuck driving my drunk friends around.

Im 20 miles away from downtown DC if that matters. And yes where I live, having a car DOES matter although here in THIS county we have decent Metro access. ANd I am lucky that I live near the end of the subway line. My MIL and my best friend live 5 miles away and have to drive to MY area to get metro access but that's not considered rural...heh.
But that is beside the main idea of what Kevin was trying to impart.
The main idea really is kids with any kind of access has a better chance to make do with the school system than those who don't
I didn't know that there were different 'versions' of suburbs.
