ISTM that they are going to get far fitter walking to/from the bus
stop for their free ride on the bus than if they nag mum/dad to drive
them the whole way


Possibly true in some parts of London but the teens around here tended
not to have drivers to collect them. Most seemed to walk (often via the
fast food shop - but that component seems to remain judging by the
litter at the bus stops and on buses) . But it'd be nice to see some
evidence -and evidence of joined up thinking.
