Drivers may quit school bus routes over rising fuel costs

CHILDREN using school buses may be left high and dry due to rising fuel costs, bus owners warned yesterday.

According to private bus operators, the rocketing price of diesel means that many drivers are on the verge of pulling out of school bus routes.

The Private Association of Motor Bus Owners (PAMBO) wrote to the Department of Education and Science two months ago but has yet to be granted a meeting on the issue.
