Not here. They still do 'busing'. My sons' elementary school they are zoned for is 8 miles up the road. In order to get there, we actually have to pass three other elementary schools. Luckily we also have magnet schools and our kids got in through the lottery to a school that is less than one mile away from our house. When I was a kid, we rode bikes to school almost every day. Those were the days.
