If we don't run, we won't get paid and parents will be stuck out there, kids won't be able to get school and they will have to stay home," bus operator Mary Thomas said.

Absolutely.. one simply cannot expect any of the parents to figure out
some way to negotiate the gruelling two-mile run to get the kids to school!

Whaddya think they are, logistics experts???

I can't believe that they will let these people operate school busses in violation of the safety and financial responsibility laws. I live in a fairly affluent neighborhood which has a dozen or more of these busses running through each morning. The drivers rarely stop for stop signs. I've almost been hit twice because drivers don't stop for stop signs or give pedestrians the right of way.

I think that each private school bus should have to carry liability insurance equal to the total judgements against Dr. Pepper when one of their trucks hit a bus several years ago. After all, if the bus had run off the road on its own who would they have been able to sue?
