I use public transport almost exclusively but I can see why it wouldn't work for everyone. Juggling two kids and bags of shopping while hopping on and off packed busses/trains sounds like a nightmare. Not to mention delayed services. Hours of my week are wasted and London's is considered one of the best public transport systems in the world...

Car centric design is why you have to juggle the kids in the first place. I went to school on foot since my first day in school, later by bicycle — and this was (and still is) normal where I grew up.

Most kids in european cities go to school themselves from a certain age onwards, in my case that was after kindergarden, elswhere it might be a few years later, depending on the regional culture.

Just pack your kids a lunch and send them off on their bicycles.
