Schools have started but what about school buses, ask parents who want to use the service for their wards. For those staying far away from schools, trips to school to pick up or drop off children is an additional task which is difficult, especially for nuclear families where both parents are working professionals.

Even as the government announced guidelines for school bus operations on October 5, many contractors have been unable to operate as the number of children is too low.
