My city's school district contracts out with the public transportation to get kids to and from school. The kids get on or off at regular bus stops (or the train stations for the metro rail).

and if their school happens to be 3 miles from where you live, driving becomes a requirement (since truency is against the law). You can't just tell people to live closer, since there is no room closer.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
