Why are you driving kids to school? Isn't that what school busses are for?

Less traffic for everyone that way (you too).

One of the most-common complaints every city and county gets: "There's too much congestion at my kids' school! Do something about it!"

Many school districts have a seat on a bus for every child. Some require children within a certain distance (like one mile) walk to school, but the rest have a seat on a bus.

And what happens? There's a giant traffic jam of SUVs and minivans outside every school, because the parents think their child deserves better than riding the bus. Or they can't bear the idea their child walk a mile a day.

Kids within a mile of the school here in King County by default don’t get a seat on the school bus. Might be able to get one in certain circumstances but the default is no seat. Source: am parent with kid who had no seat on bus

It takes less than 5 minutes for me to drive my kid to school, but the bus ride is over an hour. A stretch of the drive has a 50 MPH section, and no sidewalk, and barely any room on the white line between a guard rail. The worst part is watching other buses going back to the depot, while still waiting for my kid…

Why don’t you get off your phone and shorten that gap between you and car in front of you, huh? You do understand leaving that much space creates more traffic, looks like two or three cars can fit there. THIS is a typical, unaware WA driver.

Sure. And those are, I guarantee you, the same parents complaining about how traffic is so bad at their school when they go to drop off & pick up their kids.

I hear the phone calls, I read the emails.

It’s the same in Pierce. I would have to walk with or drive my daughter next year since we live within a mile of the elementary school. They only run a bus for certain neighborhoods due to distance.

Hmm I see a Ford Ranger, a jeep, a Chevy pickup, a Mazda, and that Sprinter-type van. But no Suburbans.

Easy, just don't go within five miles of Lynnwood city limits. I recognized this stretch of freeway and when I zoomed in I was correct haha.

That appears to be I-5 not a suburban road.

I’m going to say you don’t drive I-5 every day like I do. Especially around Lynnwood like in the picture. This behavior is infuriating. Just imagine every single car leaving gaps that big, people would never get anywhere. Stay with the flow of traffic, drive forward because the people behind you can’t move until you do. Bunch of idiots.

Adjusting school schedules is not the fix. Now you have parents that have to adjust all of THEIR jobs for a handful of bus drivers. Get your city transit to run a few routes. That's what they did for awhile in Richland. Or it wouldn't kill the little darlings to walk.
