The union representing the majority of bus drivers providing school transport services across Northern Ireland was launching its Londonderry '˜Hands Off Free School Transport' campaign today (Wednesday) at the Pennyburn Garage.
Speaking on behalf of Unite’s Education Authority bus drivers, Ciaran McCallion said: “The chair of the Education Authority has stated due to swingeing austerity cuts, households will face paying between £50 and £200 a child for school transport. We will not be accepting that.”
