We used to go to the bus stop an hour before the bus was supposed to pick us up. We spent that time running around in various games that sometimes brought us as close to the school as the bus let us off. We often had to run back to the bus stop to catch the bus to take us to the school we were already at.
Can't remember the "per line" but I remember setting two lanes for league play for $2.20. Of course dating was cheaper then too!
When I lived at Clearwater Marina, the bus stopped a mile up the causeway and a mile in island. My brothers and I could pick whichever direction we felt like walking. The bus passed right by the marina parking lot between the two stops. We were the only kids at either stop. My parents had to appeal to the school board (probably "donate" money) to get them to stop in between. This was after two years of appeals.

Back in the day, we walked a half mile through the forest to get to the train station. Rode the train for 30 minute. Walked to the bus stop or to the school (2 miles - to save the fare for snacks after school).
Now a days parents are challenged if the kid walks a block to the park.

But, also, when I got my drivers license my dad had a Studebaker - greatest car for the drive in movies - move over to the passenger side with date and reach down and pull the lever- seat back dropped to level with the back seat
Also, how about a wire recorder for music
