    1 mile take the bus

    This is a complete fiction, right?

    Wait. Hear me out.

    Chilly snowy winter campuses, especially in the frozen North where it gets chilly and snowy, will often be nigh impassable after they close down the underground tunnels – which they invariably do permanently as soon as there’s any report of crime down there - and then it’s either walking in your moon boots across the couldn’t-afford-to-clear snowy campus pathways in 2ft of snow, or take a bus from one collection point to another and cut down on the trudging.

    I dunno how OOP rode his bike, though, unless it wasn’t snowy and kids are used to the shuttle service (me, I’d speed-walk across campus a few times a day. I was in great shape!) .

    Just, small bus routes can be crazy-valuable if they avoid risk. That’s all.
