Rejected petition Reconsider "school service" or "non-service" buses

I’d like to government to consider increasing the frequency of school buses or grant access to time tables for school buses so that kids don’t have to wait hours waiting for a bus that doesn’t even let them on.

More details

For the past few weeks, there has been a lot of havoc with public transportation especially in the form of buses. Kids are late to school with no consideration about the bus situation, Adults without cars are late to work as well.

Understandable that the intent is to limit transmission of COVID-19 as much as possible but I don’t believe this has been the case as I’ve witnessed first hand drivers going past stops regardless of if the bus was full or not.
