    BK Reader | In a recent audit and policy report, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander detailed deep and long-standing failures in the City’s school bus system and called on City Hall to overhaul a system marked by chronic delays, missed routes and weak oversight that disproportionately harms students with disabilities and children experiencing homelessness.

    Advocates for Children of New York emphasized that unreliable transportation disrupts students’ education while placing emotional and financial strain on families, urging immediate action to modernize the system before current contracts expire.
