On: The School Car Pickup Line Is a National Embarrassment

[bombcar]

Busses are slow as snot in many cases, because the routes are insane.

We can walk to school and see the bus when we leave the house and easily beat it by many minutes.

(Busses being slow and routes taking long is probably a design feature, allowing schools to let out at 3PM but parents to not have to be home until 5PM or later).

But the real final solution won't be robocars, it'll be robokids. Then if you lose one you can just get a replacement.

If you can beat the bus by walking then you shouldn't be on the bus. (unless in order to pull this off you have to do something stupidly dangerous)

Though you are correct a bus is slow, done right they are faster than walking.
