We now have a concrete idea of when school buses will be back on local roads.
The Renfrew County Joint Transportation Consortium says that they have received a tentative return date of October 28th for bus services from six local companies: CF Vaudry Bus Lines, Holly Bus Lines, Musclow Bus Lines, Renfrew County Bus Lines, Valley Transportation, and Switzer-Carty.
The RCJTC says they will continue to work with a seventh company, Skelhorn Bus Lines, to determine a date they can also return to service.
It’s a resolution that comes after a month and a half of parents and guardians having to find alternative solutions to send their kids to school, or even choosing not to send them altogether.
Parents who are not sure which bus company provides service to their route can find that information on the Consortium’s website.
