Just looked at CDC website it says fewer than 20%.

Suburbs have been the only place where I’ve seen lots of yellow busses because everything is so spread out. Idk where that dude got his numbers, go to any city in the USA and you'll see kids taking public transit to school aka walking.

Not every school system provides transportation, and when they do, some states (maybe all?) require that transportation be provided by a yellow school bus and not a city bus. (My father ran into this in Indiana).

I'm gonna guess that in at least some of these areas, they walk/take busses because the school system doesn't provide transportation.

The majority of children do not live in cities. Most people move to suburban/urban areas when they have kids.
