HOOK

What if your school ride got longer because politicians could not agree on who is in charge?

FACTS

  • School transport in Flanders has turned into a political mess, with ministers contradicting each other and shifting responsibility.
  • According to Isolde Van den Eynde, vulnerable families may feel the impact most if bus lines are cut or rides become longer.
  • After the Buggenhout tragedy, stories about stress, unsafe rides and poor organization still hit hard.
  • More money did not fix everything, but critics say less money will not fix it either.

TAKEAWAY

School transport is not just about budgets. It is about children getting to school safely, calmly and on time.
