Bike busses sadly need to exist BECAUSE safety precautions are not in place.
Children should be walk to walk or bike to school safely, without worring about being struck by a car driver.
Reforming street design so that children who live inside of the bus range are able to walk or roll to school safetly removes the requirement for bike busses. That children or their parents should be worried at all on residential streets is a huge failing of our transportation network.
This reform is especially important because kids can’t vote. They can’t vote for a local politician to provide bike lanes for them. Kids of course can’t drive either so many have almost no freedom of movement outside of their suburban street. Public transit and safe bike lanes can massively increase the access to mobility kids and teenagers have.
This access to mobility can help them build confidence, independence, and navigation skills. It can help them get to school, work, or recreational activities. Forcing kids to rely on their parents for movement is not fair.
Really interesting idea. Would be supportive as long as the safety precautions are out in place
