As earlier reported on TLS, many children will not have busing this week as a result of the busing fiasco, which resulted in Durham terminating many routes.
The following is a clarification of the Durham Bus Company’s 52 post-referendum affected route assignments for this coming week:
All students will be transported as normal on Monday, February 29,
As of Tuesday, March 1st, the following 31 Durham routes will continue to receive transportation services from Durham:
B1 BTE16 LMS9 YK10
BRR12 DOR11 O22
BRR13 EYT1 YT1
BRR17 H5 YTA10
BRR18 H8 AT5
BRR24 H9 AT9
BRR25 H10 AT12
BRR26 H13 AT13
BTE6 H15 AT14
BTE7 H18 AT16
As of Tuesday, March 1st, the following 21 pre-referendum Durham routes will not receive transportation services from the
Durham Bus Company as a result of Durham’s downsizing due to the February 11th notification of route cuts which were later rescinded on February 22nd (number of students on route noted in parenthesis) :
BDGS1 (44)
DOR3 (51)
YTA6 (37)
OWBRR1 (51)
OWYTM (33)
BDGS10 (54)
EYBH4 (25)
YTA13 (44)
OWBRR2 (54)
BDGS11 (54)
EYBH5 (24)
YTA15 (41)
OWBRR3 (49)
BDGS12 (38)
EYK2 (48)
AT6 (51)
OWUTA2 (13)
BRR19 (51)
EYK4 (34)
AT11 (52)
OWUTA5 (28)
Gus Kakavas tells TLS, “We are making every effort to award Durham’s discontinued routes to other bus companies and will be sending out the results as they become available.”
However, Attorney Michael Inzelbuch still has some questions. “How is Durham being allowed by the district just not to provide busing to certain routes at its choosing? What I don’t hear is who is going to pay the increased costs? What happens if no one picks up the routes? Is it true that Durham just used the latest District bedlam as an excuse not to provide busing as it was already doing all year?”
“Once again the public – kids and taxpayers left in the dark,” says Inzelbuch.

what about the buses that have never had bussing this year we filled out the form for a refund it never came
I know very few people actually give two hoots about this town because it seems to be collapsing. Why reassign the affected bus routes? First determine if it is a courtesy bus route or a mandatory bus route and REASSIGN/ASSIGN ALL MANDATORY BUS ROUTES B4 COURTESY BUS ROUTES including mandatory bus routes that are still waiting to be assigned from the beginning of the school year!!!!
I don’t know about anyone else here but I’m loving the soap opera! It’s awesom stuff!!
Gus has not replied to my emails for MONTHS. There was so much to talk about courtesy busing when my son’s bus route which is mandated has not yet been picked up since the start of the year. I have emailed Gus multiple times and have not received any reply from on this matter. I deserve at least a cursory reply. Now, following the latest news regarding busing, it’s very obvious that many facts were not the way they were presented. Someone is not doing their job.
So I showed one morning last week at the board of Ed at 9:30 AM. The parking spots of both the superintendent and assistant superintendent were prominently empty. Why is he not there yet? Are people doing their job? Perhaps they were at a meeting elsewhere (in that case no one in the office were aware of it) but the point is someone is not doing their job. And, instead of doing my job at 9 AM every day I need to take my son to school. I want a reply to my email from Gus.
No place like Lakewood
Sound like it’s time for UBER BUSSING
What about eybh2. How can I find out if my son has bussing?
Now that we lost both of our kids routes, what do we do?!?
Time to use Lakewood L route
Are any of these routes public schools.
what do the route #s mean in English
Two of the largest school bus companies in the nation pull out of Lakewood and no one sees the writing on the wall?…wake up people. The transportation system in Lakewood needs new leadership.
