This mess is caused by one issue;
Not having enough places in local schools to accommodate the needs of the local area.

€384 mil a year to transport 161,600 students for 180 days.
That’s about €13 per student per day.

My daughter, with special needs, who goes to a mainstream school, could have either got the bus with her brother or a taxi to school every day with an escort.
The bus collects only her brother at the crossroads, but I asked if the bus could not drive 100 more yards down the main road collect and turn in our driveway. She is 6 and could not possibly make it to the crossroads or safely stand there.
Over 17 phone calls later, I finally got through to someone who had some sense, who called the bus driver and he had no problem with it as it was far safer for him then to pull over at the busy cross roads.
She gets off early so I go collect her but it would have been far easier for me just to say fuck it, send a taxi and escort to bring to and from school. I just dont want her to be different.
The rediculessness of this whole department is a sight to behold. Even the most logical thing to suit everyone involved has to be fought tooth and nail.
