That's a great point that I forgot about.

Back during COVID lockdowns reintroduction of school in my area saw the local streets go from basically empty to back to 80% load, all be it only for the one hour of drop off in the morning, and maybe 60% in the afternoon pick up.

It was striking how so much of my local traffic was people driving kids a few hundred meters to school (I live in a very school dense area).
