For the serious people, a quote from one of the BND articles (this is terrible and I’m sure that the school didn’t intend for this to happen. Anyone who drove through town at any point this summer saw them out begging for folks to come sign up)
“On Tuesday, the Madison County Transit Board of Trustees announced they would be offering free rides on the fixed-route buses to those students affected by the bus driver shortage through Sept. 30.
According to the district, MCT’s bus routes encompass the three schools affected: Grigsby, Coolidge and Granite City High School.
Students will need to display either a district student ID, a schedule from the Skyward app, or a district-assigned Chromebook with a label or asset tag.”
