Bus Fees Up Safety Down | Calgary News

Published 9 hours ago
Description

Calgary’s school bus ridership is plummeting as fees soar—up 40% to $500 a year—forcing thousands of families to reconsider. Advocates warn this could flood roads with cars, endangering kids walking or biking in neighborhoods where schools are miles away. While the board claims safety won’t suffer thanks to new schools and more walking, critics point to rising fatalities and provincial roadblocks to bike lanes as real threats. Families face a tough choice: pay steep fees or risk their kids’ safety on the road.
