The beginning of each school year brings excitement, nerves, and, for many parents a recurring problem that’s yet to be properly addressed — unreliable school bus service. I recently spoke with parents who are beyond frustrated by the persistent issues with busing in the area. The conversation highlighted both specific incidents and broader concerns, including safety, financial strain, and the breakdown in communication between families and school transportation authorities.
One of the biggest concerns parents face in this situation is the safety of their children. In today’s world, the idea of not knowing where your child is—even for a few minutes—can cause panic. This is especially true when school buses are delayed or, in some cases, fail to show up. One parent expressed genuine fear over the possibility of their kids being stranded.
