Can School staff ask drivers to allow a student to travel without a bus pass?
A. Many drivers will respond positively to a reasonable request by a member of the school staff to allow a student without any pass to travel home in the afternoon. For example, this could be done if a student only becomes aware that he or she has lost the bus pass when boarding the bus and does not have time to go back and get a temporary pass. Alternatively, the teacher(s) on duty in the bus park could have a small supply of temporary passes to issue in an emergency to those without any bus pass. This would ensure that no entitled student is left at school but encourages drivers to continue to check passes.
