Why parents call
Changes in buses, routes and stops affects modern family life. Not knowing the bus’s location or ETA is cause for a phone call.
- Worried parents call to locate their child’s school bus.
- Parents need to know when the bus will arrive to adjust the family’s schedule.
- Frustrated parents want to know why they waited so long or why their young child was left unsupervised at a stop for an extended period of time.
- Last-minute changes are difficult for dispatch to quickly communicate.
