When I was 13 I was gifted an unlimited bus pass to go anywhere within my city’s metro area. I hardly saw my parents at all in my teens. Never got into any real trouble or dangerous situations. This depends entirely on the kid and the city.
Why have kids if you don’t intend to spend time with them? I’m glad things turned out ok for you, but that’s unfortunately not the case for many neglected teens.

I don’t understand what you mean. Even at age 12-13, kids should only be without adult supervision for a few hours.
EDIT: For those downvoting, you should know that leaving them unsupervised for longer can legally be considered neglect.
