在许多西方城市，由于交通拥堵和对儿童安全的担忧日益加剧，家和学校之间的旅程已经成为问题。因此，许多父母现在开车接送孩子上学。这种情况加剧了拥堵，促使人们努力寻找安全的替代方案。最近的一个创新是步行校车（WSB）。在本文中，我们报告了这一倡议的发展，并在新西兰奥克兰的一所小学采用。我们的结论是，尽管wsb扩展了儿童的地理位置，但它们充其量是对机动交通霸权的矛盾反应。
In many Western cities, the journey between home and school has become problematic, due to intensifying traffic and growing fears for childrens safety. Accordingly, many parents now chauffeur their children to and from school. This situation has compounded congestion, prompting efforts to identify safe alternatives. One recent innovation is the walking school bus (WSB). In this paper we report on the development of this initiative, and its adoption at a primary school in Auckland, New Zealand. We conclude that although WSBs extend children's geographies they are, at best, an ambivalent response to the hegemony of motorized transport.
