I need to move out.

Today, I had woken up two hours late because my mother had taken my phone away days ago. It was after I overslept that my mother refused to take me to school, so I took a two hour train ride and ended up getting to class about 3 hours late.
Then comes the end of the day. There has never been one day where she doesn't pick me up from the exact same spot. Today, I was waiting outside without a phone or money for over an hour until I realized that she had forgotten, which resulted in a journey to get home.
For the past few months, there has been tension between the two of us. And I'm fed up with all of her disrespect, her hatred, and the sadness that I feel in her presence. I just don't know if it's the wisest choice for me to move out now, at this time.

Then why don't you move out? Move in with a friend.

You realize that she didn't just forget to pick you up today, right? She deliberately chose not to pick you up, just like she deliberately let you oversleep and refused to take you to school. It's all a way to punish you for something she feels you've done.
You need to get out of there as soon as you can. How close are you to the end of the school year? Are you legally old enough to move out on your own? You need to start looking for an apartment. Find out how much money you'll need to put down for a deposit, talk to utility companies and find out what you'll need to get electrical service in your name. Maybe student housing at a college would be an option, too.
Don't tell your mom what you're up to until you're leaving, though--if she gets wind of what's up, she'll probably do everything she can to make your life hell.

if you know to yourself that you can live now independently, you can go and do that.
