I went to a particularly well off school, lots of alumni donations. They ponied up the money to get a bus to come an hour and a half after school ended to pick up the majority of after school programs that ended at that time. The driver would ask what area you lived in and create a route to drive to each areas stop.

For the programs that ran later, you had to find your own way. And if you weren’t in an after school program, you couldn’t take that bus. Which meant, if you missed the normal bus you were still screwed
