How to get a free taxi service every day to get your kids to school..
Build/buy your house in the countryside on a 60mph stretch of road. Make sure it's on the the oposite side of the road to which the school bus goes past. The road will be deemed too dangerous for your children. Instead the council will send out a taxi from the nearest town especially to pick up your kids up and take them to school. Distance no object.
Sorry but this doesn't make sense, because even if the bus is on the house side of the road going to the school, it is going to be on the opposite side going home (unless school buses have a special exemption from driving on the left side of the road)
My council wont provide transport in that situation unless its more than 3 miles walk to the school.
So all the parents individually fire up their cars and drive their kids to school.
Some of the greener minded parents used to walk their kids along the verge of the road, until there was a very serious accident.
The council is closing the rural schools to concentrate provision in more economic sized town schools. This does mean rural kids have to be transported further to school. One criteria is that no child should have to be driven more than 40 minutes to school.
