Traffic around after school restarts

Traffic around town after school holiday is horrible. For the last 2 months, traffic was so smooth virtually to everywhere during morning hours, and we spent much less time in the journey to/from office.

Last week since school re-opens, I'd been stuck in jam everywhere from 6:00am+ till almost 9:00am. I just wonder why are there so much different during and after school holidays! One thing I did notice is that most parents opt to send their children to school themselve. With this there are a lot more vehicle flows around town. Imagine a housing area consist of 1000 household, half of them need to send their children to school, which mean 500 vehicles are on the road and that has caused much more jam for surrounding area. Government has been encouraging us to share the vehicle if going to the similar or same place. Why wouldn't these parents do it when they knew there are more students around the area who are attending the same school?

The answer is nowadays it's too dangerous to know who you actually picking and there might be someone make use of these child to commit crimes. So we could said overall it's the failure of authority that contributed to all these things indirectly since they failed to protect us from being victimised.
