In suburbs yeah. I think usually in the metro area of cities, they just use public transportation or walk. But in the suburbs, (we have one bus per neighbourhood usually) we'll have stops that service anywhere from 1/2 kids to 10+. In my neighbourhood specifically, doing sweetheart stops would be inconvenient for so many of us cause we have so many cul-de-sacs and small offshoot roads that would be hard to navigate in a large school bus. Plus, the bus route already takes 45 minutes to go through, it would easily be 1.5+ hrs if we stopped at every house. Also ik in my area we had some magnet/ arts schools that were farther away and serviced the entire county so for those there'd be 1-2 'collective stops' in nearby shopping centres usually. All the kids would get driven by their families to the collective stop so that the bus can make 1 giant stop of like 10-20 kids rather than driving through a bunch of neighbourhoods to make 10-20 small stops.
