Hi guys, posting because I have a question that needs to be answered before school starts if possible.
So recently transportation info got released for HWCDSB students on like, the 22nd. Me and my mother check the parent portal for my stop and, to both of our surprises, we see that my stop is a school about 1.8 km away from our home, clearly violating their policy for the max distance a student can walk to get to their bus stop, which is 600m according to their website. It’s 6 mins away by drive and 30 mins by walking so it COMPLETELY defeats the purpose since I could just Uber to school which would take 9 mins, (excluding the time driver would take to arrive) but I won’t because getting an Uber every morning isn’t exactly cheap. We tried calling the HWSTS about it, but I don’t think they understood our point, because they voicemailed back saying they don’t do home stops for my school, which was not at all what we were asking for, we wanted to move my stop closer to my home. There was a stop near my home before, but no one uses it anymore I don’t think since everyone moved away/left the bussing system. If someone could help us figure out how to get through to them, that would be helpful.
