It just proves the point that a wider return to Education and the workplace isn't safe. Not when there isn't a practical way to safely ensure that public transport is available.

The source of the issue is that the Government guidance is appalling, but contribution to the chaos will always draw criticism. I acknowledge that you cannot leave kids standing at the side of the road, but I'd also point out that it is the responsibility of the local authorities to provide home-to-school transport - not the bus operators. The local authorities should be providing a solution, not asking or expecting the operators to provide an unsafe environment for travel.
