School bus chaos in Rotenburg: Parents raise the alarm because of security risks!

In the Braach district of Rotenburg, a worrying picture of bus line 308, which brings primary school children to the Albert Schweitzer School, is emerging. As the Hersfelder Zeitung , the children are increasingly being harassed by older students and are enforced, in To stand overcrowded buses because many seats are blocked through the luggage in the form of backpacks. This displeasure has led to a specific incident in which children were violated due to a sudden braking, which the alarm bells rang with the parents.

parents like Sarah Hafermas and Myriam Brell have recognized the need to become active and therefore contact the district and the press to draw attention to the precarious situation. An outlook on the situation shows that many parents have a bad feeling when their children have to go to school by bus. Despite the assurance of the district that the security of the students is at the top, and that he has not found a crowd, the frustration is great.

parent initiative and planned measures

The parents' initiative does not remain without effect: an additional bus is planned from December, but the necessary change will initially be long in coming. Many families see no other option than bring their children to school to protect them from the unreasonable conditions.

The district, on the other hand, does not see responsibility among the bus drivers. It is emphasized that the number of students is within the legally permitted capacities. However, this assessment is sharply criticized by the parents because they register doubts about the soundness of the surveys. These were only carried out on certain days and therefore do not give a reliable picture of the actual situation.

In addition to the problems with bus line 308, there is also a challenge in Heinebach. There the bus does not drive directly to the Jakob Grimm School, which leads to changing and leading delays. This problem is not new; Since the beginning of the school year, many parents have reported irregularities in school bus traffic in the entire district of Rotenburg.

staff emergency as the cause

One of the main causes for repeated failures in school bus traffic are according to the Personnel bottlenecks. These were caused by illness and a general lack of driver. Daily reports about short -term failures of individual lines are unmistakable in my opinion, and an improvement in the situation seems to be ahead.
