School bus driver shortage revealed by Toronto boards

Toronto school boards say that 21 of their school-bus routes are without permanent drivers just a week before students are to go back to class. There seems to be lack of interest in the work.  The boards say that two of their school bus carriers, Sharp Bus Lines and Stock Transportation, have notified them of driver shortages. There is a “spare complement” of staff to cover daily absences. The report does not specify further numbers.
