For some reason @OSSEDC isn’t promoting it’s daily tracker anymore 🤔 Maybe because parents & data revealed it isn’t accurate at @councilofdc hearing yesterday? TY @ChmnMendelson for holding the hearing! #ShareYourBusStory @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @DCSBOE @wtopnews.bsky.social @51stnews

No comms on @OSSEDC daily tracker today which only lists 1 🚌 route late but am sure that’s inaccurate esp after @Commanders game last night 🫠 Headed to testify @councilofdc on the issue now. #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @ChmnMendelson @CMZParker5 @dcsboe.bsky.social

Unnecessary anxiety again this morning due to poor comms. Didn’t receive text/📞 🚌 was “on time” until 6:44am; usually earlier. This 👇 is why an APP is SO critical for families & students! #ShareYourBusStory @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw @councilofdc.bsky.social @ChmnMendelson @cmzparker5.bsky.social

Only 1 🚌 route listed late, but probably only bc @OSSEDC doesn’t know. 🚌 drivers & aides “bid” on routes & this first morning. 🚌 usually arrived at 7am (7:17a schedule) but who knows w/ new team 🫠 #ShareYourBusStory @washlaw4cr.bsky.social @DCChildrensLaw @MayorBowser @wtopnews.bsky.social

🚌 arrived at 6:55am. Notable bc schedule is 7:17a which means 🪟 opens at 7a. However 🚌 only required to wait 5min. Of course single-parenting this week, so wasn’t ready at 6:55. Luckily 🚌 waited, but they also didn’t know schedule changed from 7:07a. 🤯#ShareYourBusStory

It’s Friday, so that means 🚌 issues… 🫠 Informed 🚌 route was 20min late, but we’re at 30min late & #PRC said 🚌 is across town! 😩 & nothing listed on tracker which is why NO ONE can trust @OSSEDC to report accurately! 😤 #ShareYourBusStory @DCChildrensLaw @washlaw4cr.bsky.social

I can’t remember a time when it actually worked but I can only tell when it’s broken if my bus is late and then I’m in such panic mode trying to figure out how I’m going to get my child to school while getting my other student to school and trying to keep my day job-that I can’t really check

🚌 arrived 8:45a!!! 15min AFTER school starts & SO drove son. Not driver & aide fault as @OSSEDC put them on a double route & told to get the NW kids before NE. Even w/ 🚌 for #disabled kids, NW gets priority as @OSSEDC knows they will complain more. 😤

You need to fix this now. Heard a lot of talk about fixed and yet we haven’t even had a hearing.
OSSE and the @mayorbowser.bsky.social have literally had years to fix this. It’s more broken now than ever.

Another family -their bus never showed this AM. On hold with the parent resource center for over a half hour only to be told that the driver “never showed up”.
If the driver never showed up, why did families never receive notice?

Day two of return to school: one of the buses on our route broke down.
Bus driver (who is a true hero!) walked two blocks to tell friends the bus was broken down because he was worried the parent resource center wouldn’t call.
I need to stress this-so many of the issues I have seen with OSSE &
