My youngest daughter sent me a txt this morning from the bs on her way to college. A driver with Birkenhead Transport has been preventing kids from boarding his bus in the mornings, saying variously they should either get the (much earlier) school bus or walk to school as "It's not that far! It will do you good".
Not really his call, I would have thought.
I had pursued this behaviour with ARTA over several months since January and been assured it would not be happening any more. Yet here it was again.
This time, I called Birkenhead Transport directly and spoke to the man there responsible for the drivers. He assured me the driver was in the wrong and that he would sort him out. He went on to say that particular driver "could be a prat at times". He said that other parents had also called today to complain.
I'm hoping no more school kids have to put up with being refused access to buses by flakey drivers.
