Do drivers have to bring students to School in the morning?
A. We recognise that sometimes children will not have their pass with them. Drivers have discretion to allow travel in the morning on the fi rst occasion that a child does not have a bus pass and to advise them to obtain a temporary pass from the school offi ce. Children and Parents should not expect the driver to allow the child to travel. If a child persistently tries to travel without a pass in the morning after being advised that they must get one, the driver will refuse them travel. Drivers should not however suddenly refuse to carry children without a bus pass, if pass checks have not been carried out regularly. Parents are advised to discuss with their child what to do if he or she fails to catch the bus for any reason in the morning.
