The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA) says 2,360 students will have no bus to school Monday when the city's English-language boards resume classes. Changes are coming for transportation services for OCDSB and OCSB students - due to a severe driver shortage. She said because most school bus drivers are retirees in their 60s and older, many have decided to bow out this fall in light of the risk of contracting COVID-19. OSTA's website has a list of school bus route cancellations, and the authority says it will be updated on an ongoing basis. Some students at the following schools will now be taking regular OC Transpo routes to get to class and will be issued Presto cards:Notre Dame High School, freeing up seven school buses.
