[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a major city and my DD takes buses all over the place no problem.

But when I was a child living in the suburbs, I had NO IDEA which bus to get on after middle school ended.  I knew the bus stop near my house, but getting on the right bus to get home was a huge problem. I couldn't figure out how other kids knew.  [b]To this day I still don't know. [/b] I basically loitered near the buses until I saw someone who lived near me, and then stalked them onto the right bus to get home each day.  [/quote]

The buses display bus numbers. And generally line up in the same order. This was true even in the days of the Late Pleistocene North American megafauna, when I went to middle school/high school.[/quote]

Unless you were there the first week of school when they explained it, it looks chaotic and scary. I took the Paris metro as a kid. The suburban school buses feel more complex to me :-)[/quote]

"Your bus number is 2996." If you can take the Paris Metro, you can figure this out. Really.[/quote]

You're right, but not in one day.

The sign is tiny, so you have to peer at every single bus. There are lots of buses, and you have to push past a ton of kids (all bigger than you, if you're short like me) and the bus can be parked on the side of the school, and by the time you get there, it's gone.
