Further to my previous updates about my and parents' concerns about the removal of the 4S bus service by National Express Dundee, the line taken by the bus company and City Council transport officials thus far that "alternative buses" are available was shown for the nonsense that this is when, yesterday, the 26 service (a convoluted route that eventually reaches St John's High School but means pupils have to catch the bus at 8.05am and don't get home before 5pm) left Perth Road over 5 minutes early, failing to pick up any pupil.I have reported parents' complaints to the bus company and the City Council but the bottom line is that transport "alternatives" to the missing 4S school bus are completely unsatisfactory.
At the request of parents, I have booked Blackness Library for a meeting about the school bus concerns this coming Wednesday evening.
We now have well over 150 signatures on the 4 and 4S petition - including over 40 on-line. You can sign at http://t.co/iKqjwoi.
