  Mostly no, there’s a distance requirement. Above, they get free bus travel, below not.

  Primary schools tend not to be fed by busses, and lots of children need to go to primary school rather than high school.

    Wow. I took a bus to school in the first grade, so this is weird for me.

    How do they address the issue where it’s too far for Timmy to walk by himself? Anything 2 km or higher may not be good for the younger kids.

      It’s expected that parents drive their children to primary school, or at least to a nearby carpark within walking distance. If you don’t live within easy walking distance of a primary school, you just have to have a car or no children.
