Yeah that was a riddle to solve. Also if you miss the buss in the us i think the next one comes like an hour later not 10 minutes.
School Busses in particular are not recurring. You get one in the morning to school and one in the afternoon back home.
If you miss either one, you had to call your parents to come pick you up. Or find a different way such as with a friend, walking or taking the regular bus.
What if you do some kind of after school program? I usually go swimming and to gym after school(tho i could drive but its easier and environmentally friendlier to take public transport). How would you do that in the us? Or do you just go home after school and do nothing? That would explain why gangs exist, all those young people who cant do anything with their energy.
The school bus only runs its route twice; once in the morning to school and once on the way back immediately after school. If you miss it, then you're on you're own.
I did after school programs in high school and I had to find my own way home. I remember frequently waiting in front of the school for nearly 2 hours after a short club meeting to be picked up by my mom because I lived 6 miles away and she worked the classic 9-5.
Edit: My home city doesnt have public transportation, so no city bus.
