Children discussed various modes of transportation to school including tuk tuks and motorbikes. Tuk tuks were described as fun but can involve waiting behind cars and breathing in exhaust fumes due to being open on both sides. Motorbikes allow spending time alone with parents but getting wet in rain and risk of falling off if not holding on tight were cited as disadvantages. Buses were mentioned as sometimes being crowded and the potential to not find a seat.
