I was in primary school in the early 90s and there’s no way my parents would have put little 4 year old me on a bus on my own.
Comment on School absences: The school picking kids up from home to boost attendance

The family was rehoused in a flat two bus rides and at least 40 minutes from their primary school
I dont want to say twas different in my day but I regularly travelled an hour to school on several buses as did a number of my friends. Personally I can’t see this as a reason not to attend school 🤷. But then I don’t have kids so what do I know?

I think you’d be hard pressed to find parents who are willing to load their primary aged children onto multiple busses to and from school nowadays. I know I wouldn’t feel comfortable with that.

That’s fair.
