Transportation cuts create headaches in Wake County (N.C.) district

Sept. 10, 2012
Money-saving plan results in late, missing or overfilled buses

From The Raleigh News & Observer: Since the Aug. 27 start of traditional-calendar schools, thousands of the more than 75,000 bus riders in the Wake County (N.C.) district have fallen victim to a logistical nightmare of late, overfilled or missing buses. The school board decided in March to save money by cutting 27 buses and changing bell times, but routes designed to reduce the number of buses turned out to be impossible to run in the amount of time designated.
