@mbonsma@mastodon.social I'd suggest using age 12 as the cutoff, since that's a reasonable age for kids to go out on their own.
Relegating those kids to lousy public transit makes their lives worse, and encourages them to take up driving. I spent hours wandering around #halifax before i turned fifteen because the bus system sucked.

@snoda@mstdn.ca I used 15 and over because I was trying to estimate the fraction of people who could get a license who don't have one. I agree, younger kids also need independence and car dependency hurts them too.
