I have a supplementary question. I go back to my second question in my previous question: will schoolchildren be guaranteed a seat on a school bus? Dr G.I. GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗

One of the implications of this policy is that we will need more school buses. That was explained very clearly on Sunday, because with the current policy there can be more kids on a bus than there might be seats. More buses will be needed to ensure all of our children can go to school on a school bus.
