Oh no, I'm not a runner/jogger or sprinter or on any sort of track team...!
I just learned the other day that here in Finland, if you're a student in school (not university or college) - and if you don't live close to a school - they'll provide a cab or a bus pass for you, free of charge.
What's the limit?
You must live more than 5 kilometers away from the nearest school that you should be attending.
Because I'm Canadian and most Canucks don't actually use kilometers to judge distance - let me tell you approximately how far 5 km is.
I live about 2.5 km from downtown and it takes me 30 minutes to walk. And that's even with a double-stroller and 2 kids.
(Yes, it's true - Canadians are used to gauging distance by how long it takes to get there either by foot, bus or car etc.!)
So I would think about 5 kilometers is about an hour's walk away.
