SCHOOL BUSES FARES * UK - End of free school buses?
Travel shake-up set to hit thousands of pupils
Doncaster,England,UK -The Doncaster Free Press, by Deborah Wain -18 September 2008: -- Thousands of schoolchildren and students could be stripped of their entitlement to free bus travel under new council proposals... The local education authority is suggesting four major changes to transport arrangements for helping youngsters get to their lessons which could be phased in from as early as next autumn. Council chiefs say current policies do not treat all young people equally - but they also stand to save a total of £621,702 a year by making the cutbacks... If approved, changes would:
* End free transport to pupils and college students aged over 16.
* Scrap free transport to faith schools.
* Cut free travel for Stain-forth youngsters attending Hatfield Visual Arts College but living less than three miles from the school - help originally agreed to improve attendance.
