6494 (2025). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Education: How many school students, if any, currently use school bus routes that are under review?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) does not use an onboarding or ticketing service for school bus services it contracts or funds. For this reason, the Ministry does not collect detailed patronage data for these services, except through ad hoc manual patronage audits. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 6498 (2025).
