Parents say big school buses do not drop off their children to school or their society's gate as they cannot fit into narrow lanes

Even as school vans have been banned, parents across the city continue to patronise them for their building gate-to-school gate service. Unlike school buses that drop students off on the main road as they are unable to fit into narrow lanes, these vans ensure the child is dropped right at their respective gates. Taking cognisance of the requirement, School Bus Owners' Association (SBOA) is planning to bring in smaller buses from the next academic year.
