I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who have had their BK or SK travel by bus alone to visit other parent and how that experience was.

I have plenty of opinions from people in real about whether kids should go on the bus alone or not lol And those opinions vary, very 50/50 for and against. I don't even know if I'm for or against yet. I don't really want a big debate about it.

This is for me. My DD11 lives with her Dad, (better school for her in his city.) For the last several months I have been catching the bus to pick her up, then we come home. Two days later, another round trip to drop her off.

*That's 6 bus tickets costing about $110 EOW (not US$)
*That's 6 hours per trip for me. (waiting on other end for bus home is about 2 hours)
*I get bus sick, sometimes the nausea last 2 days.

The money isn't the issue, and her Dad is not obligated to do the travelling. It's the 6 hour trips away from my boys and the bus sickness that has me contemplating whether I should have my DD catch the bus alone.

At first I was absolutely against it, but after catching the bus for several months I have the impression that it would be... ok. I have seen plenty of other kids on the bus by themselves. Never had an issue of any kind while catching the bus. I feel my DD is mature enough etc etc.

Anyway, has anyone done this with your children, what were their ages and were there any problems?...
