The school bus only runs its route twice; once in the morning to school and once on the way back immediately after school. If you miss it, then you’re on you’re own.

I did after school programs in high school and I had to find my own way home. I remember frequently waiting in front of the school for nearly 2 hours after a short club meeting to be picked up by my mom because I lived 6 miles away and she worked the classic 9-5.

Edit: My home city doesnt have public transportation, so no city bus.
