Yes. That is given as a reason to change the clocks. Back during the 
wave of "energy saving measures" in the early 1970s, staying on DST 
through the year was objected to because, and I quote, "Children were 
waiting for the bus in the dark."

It was utterly inconceivable to start school later, to adapt to local 
conditions. No, everyone _else_ had to be changed.
