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

🚌 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

Son was picked up at 7am. Has his 🚌 been in an accident?!? (Didn’t look at text right away as I get multiple daily about 🚌 - mostly not helpful as too late to be of use.) Calling #PRC now… 😤

Not to mention comms this morning made me anxious about 🚌 p/u. Usually get notice at 6:30a that 🚌 is on time but not until w/in p/u 🪟today. Worried until it actually arrived on time. PTSD for the 🚌!!! (Why can’t we have an app - instead of all the texts/📞S?!?)

🚌 arrived at 3:51p, which is late based on 3:30p schedule, but WAY earlier than expected. Lots of people could’ve won 💵 off me w/ an under bet!
This is only because I’m the squeaky wheel, but what about all the other wheels? Which families were impacted due to prioritization?

🚌 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. 😤

Seriously doesn’t bode well for 25/26. Allegedly @OSSEDC practiced for today & it’s a fail. Our 🚌 late; another family super early (6:45a when p/u 7:31a); significant hold time for PRC etc. No #1stdayofschool celebration for #disabled students! @bytheresavargas.bsky.social @MarielCarbone

🚌 arrived 7:36a today, which is again outside p/u 🪟but usual time. Text 🚌 was on time received 7:14a (7:07a yesterday) so not helpful. But 🚌 arrived text received at 8:18a which is helpful if true.

So, 🚌 arrived at 7:37a which is *usual* time, but outside p/u 🪟. However, yesterday 🚌 arrived at 8:10a, which is w/in p/u 🪟 but 30min later than usual. 🫠 This inconsistency is what kills families! @WashLaw4CR @DCChildrensLaw #ShareYourBusStory @mayorbowser.bsky.social @chmnmendelson.bsky.social
