It'll come when the city and union reach an agreement on driver responsibility, safety, etc. Until they have something in writing the union isn't on board with it.

Yikes...I originally said I wasn't going. To return the phone. Just to avoid being late I'm taking the phone with me every day back home. That's insane unheard people waiting 30-45 min to get a phone and couldn't even log in or the phone wasn't working

Learned that OPT agreed that drivers would not be held responsible for damaged or lost phones ... thus the hand out today.

I didn't have it tooooooo bad. I came in just for my PM, no issues with the phone, they gave my spare away they gave me to do my dry run that had all my signs and personal stuff on it to replace my bus that had electrical issues all summer. They told me go to the bus that has the electrical issues and the bus didn't even start lol. I grab a bus I make sure they wrote it on the board it was my bus going forward. Finished my run to only find a girl crying who wasn't supposed to be on my bus, nobody from pioneer was answering the phone or the radio call while I ended up going out of my way taking her home because the school put her on the wrong bus 🤦🏻‍♂️

That's fine as long as you make sure someone is home before dropping her off. Still, best to get OK from the office before you do this but I understand you couldn't get through.
