As a boy, I never saw a school bus

School buses are everywhere today. When I was a boy, schools were smaller, more numerous and located in the students' neighbourhood.

We walked to school. We did not take the bus. We didn't need to. I left for school at 8:45 a.m. School was but a fifteen minute walk away.

Two of my granddaughters must take a school bus. One granddaughter is up each morning at 5 a.m. to catch her bus. She rides the yellow bus for hours and hours everyday to and from school. That just seems so wrong.
