TAKE YOUR KID TO SCHOOL AND 20 MINUTES IS NOT LONG

have you actually driven kids to school?

@@rukiakuchiki6187 it's usually a traffic jam full of confused karens having no idea what they're doing, and when they get the hang of it it's... still a traffic jam. it's something you want to avoid especially in older schools that weren't designed for that kind of onslaught. newer schools might take this into consideration, but it's still a lot of vehicles -- thanks open enrollment!

Drive your own damn kid to school then. This stuff gets old, no one wants to drive a bus. This is a nationwide issue. Want to help? Go get your CDL and drive!

[@ryanbarker5217]

yes, this place is hardly alone, every place struggles to find drivers.

[@ameliawilder28]

Some people have reasons they can’t get a car, wether it’s health issues, physical issues, or money. But yes, I agree with you in a sense. Some parents can drive them and have no job to go to so they can but won’t.

[@BitzerDogTaylorsVersion13]

you never know what condition the family is in. they might not have a car, they might have a mom and a dad who both work 2 jobs a day each morning and afternoon, you can't assume someone's situation, dumbass. sometimes, they have no choice besides riding the bus.

Bus late getting home

[@edwardzimmer2171]

Well you can thank a lot of people for this problem. Politicians number one. Cut backs. You think your going to get a reliable person to pick up your kids in today’s society with the money they are paying for this position.???!?? Also the way kids behave on those buses is an atrocity. It’s all a big mess and politicians and school board members are to blame. Attend a pta meeting or two and express your opinions and fix it. Crying to the news isn’t going to solve anything.

Bus driver fired

Bus driver fired loss jobs

[@shwt121]

Im not suprised..... traffic in and around this area continues to suck.......mostly because of construction that seems to pop up out of the blue and ties up traffic for HOURS !!!!! What the hell is the state doing about this????????

[@cockandballtorture5167]

I wait for more then 20 minute and I'm so early to school,..

[@larryr.normanoldo3137]

Same. I honestly don't mind it that much.

[@naashoiianinigii5266]

I mean I’ve waited 30 minutes in snow and rain, it’s honestly not that bad as long as your awake and ready and prepared for a cold or flu, but dress properly and you’ll be fine

[@gaylecho9987]

Mom and dad angry bus driver fired getting late whooping bus driver

[@ryanbarker5217]

then drive your kids if you have the time, busing isn't a right or even a law in most places, it's a privilege. 'if you're interested in becoming a school bus driver, well it's really simple....' bwahahahahaha! in fact, they just don't hand out Class B licenses, you have to earn that.

[@gagedunn8386]
