There seems to be a groing trend for parents to expect everything to be provided free. There is a regular shool bus service to the school. The parents are just arguing for free travel.
The current system for school travel does not help in that it is unfair. If a child lives less then 3 miles from a sholl they pay the fare but if over 3 miles it is free. This is an illogical system and should be changed. Every child should pay the fare for the first 3 miles. The council should then reimburse any excess costs for journeys over 3 miles. This would be a cheaper and fairer system
A WALK to school in protest over the lack of free bus transport for Llangunnor children going to Carmarthen’s QE High will be staged this week. On Friday morning pupils, parents and community leaders in Llangunnor will walk the 2.9 miles to the school in protest over no bus transport and what they claim is a dangerous pedestrian route.
