They still do, but considerably less in numbers. I just checked our local school bus schedule, I was amazed that one bus now does the same route as what took four buses when I was going to school, and the one bus does only one combined stop in my old neighborhood whereas before it made several. With only one combined stop, it makes for a longer distance to travel to get to the bus, and only one chance to make the bus.
