[quote=Anonymous]For ES it was about 2 blocks.  However, we asked to have it moved to our driveway because we live on an extremely busy road with no sidewalks and the "bus stop" was the corner of someone's yard at the intersection of two streets AND had large construction vehicles parked at the corner for multiple years.  For most of ES, my child was the only kid in the neighborhood riding the bus so after realizing the unsafe nature of the stop for a small child they moved it to the top of our driveway.
For MS/HS the stop is about a mile away (again in a neighborhood with no sidewalks).  The best part is that for HS it is actually faster for my kid to walk to school (the stop is a 15 minute walk from our house in the wrong direction where the HS is a 6 - 7 minute walk).  The county says our neighborhood should take the bus because they have to cross a busy street to get to the school - but not a single kid in our neighborhood rides the bus - it would take 3-4 times longer than just walking.[/quote]
