On Thursday morning, some students at Felix Leclerc High School in Pointe-Claire had one of their last rides on the school bus that picks them up on Hurteau Street. The route is being scrapped for the upcoming school year, leaving families to arrange alternative transportation.
The decision affects students who relied on the bus service for their daily commute. Parents expressed frustration over the lack of notice and the added burden of finding new transportation options.
School board officials cited budget constraints and low ridership as reasons for the cancellation. They encouraged affected families to explore carpooling or public transit alternatives.
This change comes as part of broader adjustments to school transportation services in the West Island area. Some parents have started a petition to reinstate the route.
