(Ambridge, PA) After buses have been consistently late for picking up and dropping up students, frustrated parents at Ambridge Area School District have found out the reason for the late arrivals. Representatives from the ABC Transit at Wednesday’s board meeting confirmed that the delays happened because of the change to updated software from old software to make bus routes. Those using the software also accidentally used demo versions of the bus route software by mistake. Vice President of Operations at ABC Transit Kristen Anthony also noted that some members of staff will be hired to make exclusive routes for the district.
