Montreal-area students to have school bus service back for Wednesday: LBPSB
After some were left without a ride on the first day of classes, a Montreal-area school board says bus service will be restored for students starting Wednesday.
The Lester B. Pearson School Board, which oversees anglophone elementary and high schools in the western end of the city and off the island of Montreal, made the announcement late Tuesday. “We are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with all school bus carriers that service LBPSB schools,” the school board said in a statement. “As a result all regular school bus operations will be in place as of Aug. 31 for all eligible students.”Lester B. Pearson adds that students who take mini-van transportation “will be contacted directly by the transportation carrier to confirm pick-up and drop-off times.
Ongoing negotiations between the Quebec government and school bus operators left some children in the lurch for the start of the academic year. A deal was struck with most carriers in the province in late August, but not with all of them in the greater Montreal area.Quebec school buses still not secured for September following heated negotiations© 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
