We actually had a "campus" so the buses were able to get you incredibly close to your school. Any walking you did was on a path similar to what you might find on a typical university campus outside of major urban areas. In this regard, walking was a bit different given that you had no roads to cross when walking from the bus to your school. In the end, I think it all really came down to not wanting to hire people to maintain crosswalks.
