129. I just read something that said he was obligated to let them on...

According to one bus driver, even though the bus is chartered by several schools, the policy is the drivers have to stop for any kids in school uniform. But regardless of that, he must have been blind not to see that they were drunk, and he should have stopped them from getting on the bus in the first place.

"It wasn’t the bus driver’s fault”

A Jewish bus driver said his colleague had to stop for the eight teenagers that abused the Jewish students yesterday.

He said that drivers are instructed to pick up any children in a school uniform.

"If the school students hail us down then we have to pick them up,” the bus driver told The AJN.

“It’s not about safety anymore, it’s just about money so it wasn’t the bus driver’s fault they he picked up the kids.”

He said the people to blame are the bureaucrats that make the rules.

“The bus driver was doing his job because, although the Jewish schools might think they charter the bus, the reality is that they do not.

“The problem is with the system and it needs to be changed.”

A spokesperson for State Transit confirmed that school buses are for all school children.

“Bus drivers are required to pick up school children and reports that this was a private school bus is a miscommunication,” the spokesman said.
