Congestion at schools whenever parents drop off or pick their children up is a perennial issue.

In his commentary, The Straits Times’ senior transport correspondent Christopher Tan called for parents to stop chauffeuring their kids to school and to encourage their school-going children to take public transport.

Christopher tells The Big Story's multimedia journalist Hairianto Dirman about what parents should keep in mind when ferrying their children to and from school, so as to make the whole process smoother and more pleasant.
