Show Notes
Boston Public Schools bus system, operated by Transdev, is facing criticism despite achieving record high on-time arrival rates. With over 1,300 students late to school and more than 2,200 not home on time daily, the systems 7% miss rate equates to a significant number of students affected. The system, which serves 19,000 students across 200 schools, has a budget of over $200 million and aims for a 95% on-time rate. However, driver shortages, traffic jams, sick calls, and busted routes contribute to uncovered trips spiking. The BPS director acknowledges the systems failure for consistently late buses, and with increasing scrutiny and families seeking alternatives, Boston must improve its bus system before another school year becomes a challenge.
