Once I returned to India, it was a different story altogether. We (about half a dozen kids) would be crammed into a single autorickshaw (which ideally seats 3 medium sized adults) that would pick us all up from our homes and take us to school and back... looking back, it was hilarious.

The one move in my school years was from one apartment to another in the same building so I didn't have to change schools. I walked to my elementary school (1 block), I had just under a mile walk for what we then called junior high and I took a city bus to my high school. I also enjoyed what you shared about Salt Lake City, a city I have never visited.

It was fun though, in retrospect. I usually walked too, except the one school for a year, until we moved closer to the school. I enjoyed your post! And as for public transportation, these days most schools have their own buses or a bunch of hired vehicles to help the children commute. :)Vidya Suryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911836541019511108noreply@blogger.com
