    Ok… how is a kid living on a farm 10 miles from the main road and 20 miles from city limits going to get on public transit?

      Stick a bus stop somewhere in walking distance and run that route based on need. Like my parents live on a farm about 6km out of town and there’s a bus stop right near the house that bus goes twice per day and adults can ride it too.

        Where in walking distance? We have miles of unpaved road here with few homes on them and acres of farmland. I don’t think you understand just how large the U.S. is.
