Savannah Mother Upset with First Student's Safety Practices

From WTOC 11:

Earlier, we reported on a Savannah, Georgia First Student yard joining a union, but one mother is still upset with First Student, after her son was hurt on a First bus.

She says it all started when a bus broke down, and First Student had to squeeze two busloads of children onto one bus. Stockton says it was a terrible ride.

"There was nowhere to sit down and it wasn't safe," he said. "Kids were standing up and when she slammed on her brakes, kids were screaming."

I don't think I personally have been stuffed in a bus of 2 in 1, but that doesn;t exactly seem safe (although the story doesn't specify how full each bus was).

While officials didn't want to go on camera, they do say the bus driver was unfamiliar with the route, and did make some quick stops because, according to the bus driver, the children weren't giving her much notice before their stops.

Bus driver unfamiliar with route? Uh, yeah, that happens way to much.

First Students say their bus driver followed proper procedures and was not at fault for what happened on the bus.

Yeah, their going to admit they're at fault.
