I'm not OP but cars idling at the bus stop unnecessarily is terrible for the environment & often causes extra traffic congestion in neighborhoods during people's morning commutes.

Then plan your commute accordingly.

Your neighbors must love you. As, I'm sure, does the EPA!

Such selfishness you are teaching your snowflakes.

It would be better not to idle the car.

A few moms I know do it because they have infants that bring with them in the car.

Yup. If she rides the bus, my kid has to get up at 5:45 to be at the bus stop at 6:30. If I drive her, she can sleep until 6:20. I drop her off just after 7 and then head to work.

That makes sense but I'm pretty sure the OP was referring to parents driving their kids a few blocks to the bus stop, not to parents driving their kids all the way to school.The time advantage isn't really applicable to these situations.

I never said it annoyed me (it doesn't), I was just wondering why.

I drive my kid to school; for the same reason another pp mentioned, it's like a 30 minute bus ride to get to the school that's less than a mile away. We walk on occasion if the weather is good and ds is ready on time.

I work from home and usually drive to the bus in the afternoons to eek out every minute of work that I can.

My DH goes straight to work and when I do it, I have to drive 2 other kids to schools with no bus.
