“How is it possible that there is no replacement for bus drivers who become ill? After all, the children have to go to school!” – This question occupied some parents in the Vienna Forest a day before the long-awaited autumn holidays.
The operator’s ‘explanation’ is more disturbing than the spontaneous failure of a school bus connection in Klosterneuburg. But first and foremost: yesterday, on the last day before the autumn holidays, line 403 from Klosterneuburg to Wördern simply did not run in the morning. Excitedly, the children and young people immediately called their parents, who set up a shuttle service with passenger cars.
When the children were safely at school, even though some arrived late, those affected demanded justification from the responsible bus company Zuklin. “On the hotline they just told me that the bus driver did not show up for work today and that there was no replacement driver available,” said one mother angrily. And asks: “Will the trip be charged in such a case? After all, it is our tax money!”
VOR promises „conversations“
The transport organization confirmed the incident in response to a request from “Krone”: “Unfortunately, a route on line 403 from Kierling train station via Höflein an der Donau to St. Andrä-Wördern was canceled this morning because a driver did not show up at short notice. term,” it said in a statement. We would like to apologize to the affected parents and their children: “We will discuss this with the transport company so that something like this can be prevented in the future.”
