Philly’s bus driver shortage is a ‘crisis,’ leaving kids missing school or stranded

Wow. Amazing. WTH is going on? We’ve got schoolbus driver problems in Florida too. Reading this thread, it seems to be happening across the country. Why?

Bus driving companies had all summer to figure out how many drivers they have and waited til the last minute to see how many they actually had, now there's a shortage. Can you imagine being a little kid and having a member of the National Guard sitting in the driver's seat? Not sure if they'll be in actual Guard uniform or not, but if they are, that could have different reactions from kids. One of the towns here in MA waited til the day before school started to do asbestos testing on the school and school was delayed a day because of it. SMH.
