> In some countries letting the driver know where you plan to get off is good if you're young.
I've definitely experienced this a few times even as an adult obviously out of place. I've usually found bus drivers happy to help people who aren't being a problem, I imagine it can be a bit refreshing and rewarding for the bus operator at times as long as you're not being a bother or a drag on their schedule. The bus drivers in Montreal were very nice despite barely speaking English and I only have Duolingo level knowledge of French. :D Je ne parle pas bien français! J'essaye.
Thanks for the insights and sharing. I really appreciate insight into how others raised their kids and what worked and what didn't. One last question, what country/region were you in raising your children with public transit? US? Major metro or more mid-pop?
