A review by Deloitte, commissioned by the Ministry of Education, suggests that some elementary and secondary schools in Ottawa should adjust their start and end times to improve bus efficiency.

Ottawa parents have faced repeated bus cancellations due to driver shortages, prompting the review to find solutions for a more effective system.
