| How do they get there? |

| She either walks there or I pick her up if it's raining/dark/snowy/etc. |

| She can walk, Uber, or take the bus. Same way the rest of us get to work without a car. |

That wasn't the question. I asked how she gets there. Not: what possible ways are there to get to work? |

| Walks or bikes, occasionally gets a ride from parents. |

Not the OP, but my teen has been working since 14, when driving wasn't an option. Even now, as a 17 year old, he doesn't have a car at his disposal at the times he needs to work. His first job (soccer ref) he rode metro or the bus depending on the field. Later he moved to a retail job a mile from home and walked. Now, he works downtown (we are in the suburbs) and he takes metro unless it's super late for a special project and then he takes uber. |

Not all teens are of driving age. Oh and let me pull an extra car out of my @ss. |

She gets to work by picking one of the options I listed. She's old enough to have a job; she's responsible for getting herself to and from. If she wants to spend the money, she ubers. If she times it right, she catches the bus. Sometimes she walks. Sometimes she's running late and has to uber even though she doesn't want to pay for it. |

I had a job at a supermarket, then an ice cream store, a camp, and shoe store, starting at 14, all through high school.
My mom or dad drove me there and picked me up every single time. |
