Round here the children get free travel on the buses and it never fails to amaze me that they get on at one stop and off at the next when you can even see the two bus stops they are so close!

I waited at a bus stop once for about 10 mins with a young schoolgirl and when the bus came she did not even sit down as she was off again at next stop.  The buses are every 10 mins or so and they can travel for miles for nothing so no wonder young children are unfit. 

When I went to secondary school it was 6/7 miles away and I used the bus but we had to walk from the bus stop, now I notice they have a special bus that drops them right at the door.

Oh! Dear sounds like I am getting old and grumpy.
