All of this honestly seems like a reason to not have kids.
I cant stand sitting in a car waiting.

My daughter's school starting using the Pik My Kid app last year and it has made it 50 times better at least.

That’s a highway not a school.

Whatever happened to school busses?
Our school district has ‘school choice’ - so the carpool line is about a mile long and there are about 100 busses as well. Not counting the busses going in and out of the hood taking kids to other schools bc of their parents’ choice

Better now that we are in the 3-5 line
the K-2 line would always get held up with some kid having a meltdown or not being about to unbuckle or something

I feel blessed that ours is pretty easy. The younger kids are in a different line than the older ones. I think the older kid line is a cluster, so something to look forward to. Thankfully, I am only drop-off guy for one day of the week. The wife gets it most days.

takes wife 45 min in the morning and hour in afternoon if doing car pool.
Bigger problem in our area is lack of bus drivers. My daughter sits at school from anywhere 45min-1.5 hrs waiting on the bus to arrive.

We aren't in elementary school yet, but the line is crazy long everyday. We are less than a mile from the school, so in the future I'll just park in the neighborhood behind the school and meet my kid there. People get to pickup like 45 minutes before school is out and unfortunetaly even though we are really close to the school it isn't walkable because there are no sidewalks and the road to get there is dangerous IMO. People drive way to fast and its hilly and windy with no shoulder.

How is the Car Pickup/Drop off Line for your kids
Gotta admit. parents dropping kids off at school is probably one of the most perplexing cultural shocks I had when moving to LA from the North.
Growing up, my parents never dropped me off at school. Always rode the bus. School traffic was near non-existent and our school district compares well to Dutchtown in size.
I understand private school parents bc many school don't have buses, but publics? Crazy to me

A lot of people live close enough where they can't take a bus.
We don't have the bus option until middle school for my son.

I saw this guy one morning at the start of the high school when my daughter was still there. fricking legend. I feel comfortable that he’s the CEO of some mega million company by now. As the father of a daughter at the high school, I thought the shirt was fricking genius.

Serious question
From what I can tell (my clients are schools, though I do absolutely nothing relating to busses), transportation is one of the largest issues they deal with.
Staffing, permitting, affording it, managing the logistics of reaching each kid in a timely manner, etc. From what I hear, finding people to actually drive the busses is a nightmare.
A lot of private and charter schools simply can't manage a bus transportation system at all, and public schools have their issues with it too.
That said, I get so mad when I'm stuck in a carpool road block.

It is insane and aggravating as hell. Of course the school is over 40 years old. I wonder if schools being built these days incorporate traffic engineers in the initial school design so as to make the drop off/pick up process efficient?

Our drop off/pickup line has never been bad, but this year is a cluster. I think they added 500 students to the school and cut off virtual learning. Luckily we are within walking distance. Only drop off/pick them up if it's raining.

If you are close enough to where a bus isn't an option, isn't walking or riding a bike an option?

Bad days were when I'd drive one kid to school and return home to find the other bus didn't come--so I got to turn around and drive back.

We live too close and no, walking or biking is not an option. They would have to walk basically in a ditch because part of the way is on a two lane road with no shoulders. And people speed down the road because it is a popular cut through to get to another major street.
Our carline was pretty bad last week but much better this one since people know what to do now.

Ours is a straight up mess. Our oldest currently rides the bus from middle school in the afternoons. The bus has been half an hour to an hour and a half late everyday. My neighbor who I've been carpooling mornings with texted this morning about carpooling afternoons because it is such a mess and we never know when the kids are getting home.
