Having grown up in NYC as a kid

I can say that kids know at a very early age which buses and subways go where, and can generally read a subway map much better than the tourist I see on a regular basis struggling to figure it out. When I was grwoing up in NYC, starting in the 7th grade the transportation to school was either the subway or public bus. Only elemantary schools used the yellow school bus.
Additionally, in Manhattan there are cops almost every block especially midtown, which is where they were.
It sounds like the kid has more street sense than the kids I see getting off a school bus and then darting across the street without looking because they assume all cars have stopped for the bus.
Lastly, it is easy to point out the handful of bad people out there, but try to remeber the other 99.9% of the people who do the right thing.
