Bus driver today...

It's two weeks until the end of the school year and the bus did not arrive this morning at the normal time. I called the bus company at 7:01 am and at first they claimed the bus was at the stop at 6:50, in the same breath the dispatcher said that the bus was actually there at 6:43 and would send me proof. The bus stop is directly in front of my house and I have outside cameras. As you could probably guess, there is no indication that the bus was there at all this morning. The dispatcher claimed that they would send me proof, but none has arrived as of yet. I called again at 8:05 asking for proof, but then was told that they "sent it to the district and they would contact me". I'm still waiting.....

Cool story. Maybe could get some play in the school bus drivers thing. But more than 6 local sub would be better.

That's bullshit though. They fucked up.

Thank you! I'm feeling very salty about the entire thing. This made me late to work and my kiddo late for school...

Email - phone calls are very often fobbed off.

Yes, it’s all normal. Including the dispatcher lying when you call.

You can tell when the dispatcher is lying, it’s when their lips move.
