Boston Bus Delays: Two Councilors Speak Out

Starting school and your bus doesn't show up on time. That's what many students in Boston have been facing. City councilors Ed Flynn and Erin Murphy are tired of seeing kids wait for late buses, so they've asked the state to investigate. They say the problem started right away when only a third of buses were on time. Two weeks later, it's still happening. A mom recently called Erin Murphy, saying she still doesn't have a bus for her son after three weeks! She tried calling Boston Public Schools (BPS), but they hung up on her. This shows that the issue isn't just about fixing some first-day glitches – it's serious and ongoing. Mayor Michelle Wu and school officials blame new tech and more students for these delays. But are those really the only causes? Councilors Flynn and Murphy think we should find out. They want a thorough check into what's making the buses late. Delays mean kids get to school late, which isn't fair to them or their parents. Let's see if this investigation can help fix these bus troubles for good.
