Boston Parents Frustrated with School Bus Delays: A City Council Hearing Looms
Parents in Boston, particularly in Roslindale, are grappling with severe school bus delays, with one mother reporting her childrens bus has failed twenty-one times this year. The Boston City Council is set to hold an emergency hearing this Tuesday to address these chronic issues, as Transdev, the company managing the buses, has consistently missed its on-time target. Traffic, school choice, and busing for charters contribute to the problem, causing significant stress for parents and students. Despite three thousand four hundred sixty-nine misses or hour-plus delays since August, no penalties have been issued to Transdev. The districts transportation budget is nearing two hundred million dollars, with promises of better oversight and tech solutions in the new five-year deal. However, parents remain unsatisfied, with some even resorting to WhatsApp carpools as backups. The council hearing could potentially bring about real change for these ongoing struggles.
