school busses

School bus drivers are still on strike, but a meeting scheduled for Monday at the mayor’s Gracie Mansion may provide a breakthrough in stalled negotiations.

With the school bus strike set to start at 6 a.m. Wednesday, parents with children in areas that require MTA bus service will be unable to use the temporary MetroCards issued by the Department of Education (DOE).

The city’s school bus drivers are going on strike at 6 a.m. this Wednesday, leaving the families of more than 150,000 children with one day to figure out a different way to get to school.

Buses arriving hours late and other issues provoked criticism and sharp inquiries by elected officials and parents Wednesday.
