Buses 'failing Perelle pupils'

CT PLUS is again reviewing its new routes after more complaints from parents that the relaunched schedule leaves them with children unable to get to school.

A week after parents of Grammar School pupils complained, Elizabeth College parents living at Perelle have expressed their disapproval about the coverage of the new bus service.

Previously they were served by the 5S, which got the youngsters to school before registration at 8.25am.

But the new bus 41 gets them there either too early or too late and leaves the boys with a long walk to a new Vazon departure point.

Frank Villeneuve-Smith, communications director for HCT Group, which owns CT Plus, said the company was trying to find a solution.
