Toronto saw delays on 139 bus routes on Tuesday morning – the first day of school for elementary and high school students. Kevin Hodgkinson, general manager of the Toronto Student Transportation Group, said that this is about four times higher than a typical school day. “On average, you’re looking at about 30 delays each day, morning or afternoon,” Hodgkinson said Tuesday morning. According to the Toronto Student Transportation Group’s website, buses for both the Catholic and secular boards were delayed by anywhere from 10 to 80 minutes. “We are having some delays as we do every day,” said Ryan Bird, a spokesperson for the Toronto District School Board.
