All school bus routes are expected to be up and running in Toronto on Monday after more than 100 buses were cancelled on both Thursday and Friday due to unexpected driver licensing issues.
Toronto Student Transportation Group General Manager Kevin Hodgkinson told CTV News Toronto Friday that the issue first came to light on Wednesday night.
He said First Student had purchased a number of 28-passenger buses that required special licences that many of its drivers did not possess.“The majority of these buses were students with special needs,” he said, noting that children that use wheelchairs were not impacted. He said all bus routes should be operating normally next week as First Student works to bring in more buses from other areas to match up drivers with the correct buses that they are able to drive.“It is an unfortunate issue that we had to deal with but we are absolutely confident that they will have everything rectified by Monday.
