PLEASE stop thinking that everyone and everything is so privileged like your family apparently is.

While I get what you are saying, you have to look at it like this,in some cases, kids living near a bus stop would HELP them go to school. When I was in 8th grade, we walked about a mile or so to school thru 'some of the roughest streets of Baltimore' through heat, wind, cold and rain, and lived to tell the tale...wooo hooo. Not everyone nor every district is privileged enough to have school buses that stop at your door to pick you up and drop you off.
While I may not agree with everything Kevin has said in this thread, i can see the point he has made here.
Not every parent has a car, nor will every parent be able to drop their kids off. A good transit system can sometimes be an appreciative motivator to get kids to and from school.
