A parent I know of was asked to take her wee boy out of school (we think behavioural problems), and he got a place at the nearest one about six miles away. Still in Aberdeenshire so same local authority and they have to do the drop off and pick up for him.
I find it very hard to believe that they'd put on a taxi for a 80 min round trip twice a day for someone who chose to leave the locality.
But then, the mother I refer to isn't a world famous tiktok influencer....
This happens. I know of non asn children getting taxis to school paid for by Aberdeenshire but I can’t see how they would justify shire to city taxis.
Maybe her car is now taxi
