I worry about the buses being late or not coming as well. I know the school selected the bus company based a biding process. I am not sure how the school can select reliable drivers to drive the buses in our town. <br /> <br />Are there penalties for the bus company for unreliable services? <br /> <br />I used to accompany my kids to the bus stop and say hi to the bus driver in the morning. We even knew the name of the driver.

We are lucky to have a reliable bus driver.</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Isn't it the school's responsibility to hire reliable bus drivers? Our route typically goes through at least 3-4 a year, year-after-year. And the couple times they have had good drivers, they never keep them. <br /> <br />Also, it's the school who sets the route, the rules under which they bid for the job and the route times. Why create a route that circumnavigates the entire town, plus goes into Plainsboro and East Windsor and along a highway every morning and not give it enough time so that on the rare occasions the bus is on time the kids still arrive last and have to run to make their classes? Seems like poor planning if your best case scenario barely works and you have no margin of error. <br /> <br />And while allow the drivers to take on the route with absolutely no requirement to drive the run before actually taking on kids? Seems like a recipe for problems. Last year one of our kids was an hour late to one of his finals when the driver got lost and didn't communicate with the other drivers or his dispatcher. 2 hour bus ride to school. In our neighborhood the bus is so consistently late that most of the parents have given up and just drive their kids to school. That's not an occasional inconvenience, that's a systematic problem.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-0101</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed, Sep 3 2014, 10:17 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: ready for another year of terrible bus service</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I think the reliability of the service depends on the bus driver.
