      Do you not have school buses?

      In Japan, kindergarteners are required to get to school using public transit, alone. They wear bright yellow hats so everyone can see them/knows where they’re going if they look like they need help.

          Op, and this thread isn’t mocking the person imprisoned by a Honda Accord for not simply taking a 200mph train through the Alps while sipping a glass of wine to get to work, its mocking them and you for not understanding how bad things are and defending such a terrible system. Better things are possible, but it requires systemic change, nobody expects tragicinfo to personally build a high-speed rail network.

            Yes, I think mocking working-class parents is a great way to get the point across. Bravo.

                So can uninformed brave keyboard warriors, squabbling for internet likes. Put your child on your motorcycle and take them to school if you’re so anti-car.

                  I see children on motorbikes every day here in vietnam, its how people get their kids to school.

                  Under 14-16 the parents or older brother drops the kids off, sometimes you see a mom with 2 kids between her legs and 1 one the back. Around that age they tend to get electric scooters and drive themselves and maybe 1-2 friends. At 16 they can get a 49cc bike, but a lot illegally ride a 110cc.

                  Its not possible in America because we designed everything around cars. Look outside your bubble, things don’t have to be so bad.
