As roads improved and motor vehicles came into the pictures, country schools were closed and children were transported by bus to town schools. Larger farms and smaller families also played a part in the closure of the country school.

In the present era it is not uncommon to see young people driving cars to school even though there are school buses that could transport them to their school.
