Mom? Where’s my bus? OC Transpo should have communicated route changes better to school, public: Parent Youth say Grade 7 and 8 students were confused about what bus to take home Monday
JOE LOFARO/METRO
Students at l’école secondaire De La Salle were confused on their first day of school Monday because the buses they usually take never showed up. The 603, 604, 605, and 693 buses were all replaced with a new 602 Hurdman bus, but no one thought to tell students. “I was really confused because usually we have all these buses,” said Annick Trudeau, 13. “We have two buses that are going to where we live and this time there were none.” Her friend Bernadette Prévost said in late July students got a letter from De La Salle telling them to take the 600-series buses — routes that no longer exist. Although octranspo.com recommends students take route 602 to go to De La Salle, route 693 isn’t on the list of revised or cancelled routes. OC Transpo launched its “Check Your Route” campaign on Aug. 10 to warn commuters of major route changes that will take effect on Sept. 4. “I wasn’t on any buses in the previous two, three weeks and I was away,” said Annick’s mother, Jane Dunlop. “A lot of people are away — it’s August.” OC Transpo and De La Salle could not be reached for comment.
