Thank you! In elementary school, everyone in my neighborhood would walk to the same bus stop in one central location, and we'd actually get down there an hour early so we could play football/kickball/capture the flag/etc. before school.
Now, it seems like kids just have to sit in their house until the bus pulls up to their front door. I understand this makes sense in some places where the population isn't dense, but in most cases, it's ridiculous.
