Meanwhile we have busses that don’t always go anywhere close to everyone’s houses (or if they do, they may take multiple hours to get there after dropping off a hundred other kids), almost non-existent sidewalks in most suburbs, dumbasses who don’t watch for people on bikes, and a court system that’s regularly faulted the person on the bike for getting hit.

Greatest country!

Also, at least where I live, you have to have prior permission to ride the bus. Your parent is going to be late picking you up? Guess you’re waiting outside cause they didn’t pre sign the permission slip!
