The local authority has been encouraging some pupils to make use of the free bus pass scheme which was introduced in January last year
Concerns West Dunbartonshire pupils using the under 22 bus pass to get them to and from school might be running late for class have been raised by councillors.
It comes after councillors agreed to phase out the provision of council bus passes for around 360 young people who currently go to school on a public service bus and instead support those pupils to utilise the Scottish Government’s Under 22 Travel Pass.During the most recent education committee, questions were raised about the uptake of the scheme in West Dunbartonshire as the local authority approved the latest round of school transport contracts for the next 12 months.
“It is about making sure they are attending school but also about giving them more responsibility and teaching them to use public transport. I am interested to see if we are looking at anything further there. A council officer confirmed that there had been an impact on attendance at the beginning of the term and the local authority had been in touch with families to resolve the issue.
