I doubted you when you wrote this but encountered it today at about the halfway point on Spring Loop. Bus had actually pulled over against the curb with emergency flashers on as well as the blinking red lights. Had traffic backed up to University. Finally turned them off and walked back thru the bus as drivers were allowed to pass.
Not really sure what could take as long as it does for it to be sitting there for that long each day. It cannot take 20 minutes to get a few kids at most onto the bus. I've never been able to get close enough to see what they're actually doing. Now I just go a different way and avoid Spring Loop all together.
I believe that bus picks up a handicapped passenger. Has to load the wheelchair and get her strapped in.
As I said, I've never been close enough to see what it is doing, just that it was stopped for long periods of time.
That said, as soon as I saw it mentioned that it had to do with a handicapped child, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone made some snarky comments. It also means that any criticism is automatically prohibited. A friend of mine got banned for 30 days for using the "R" word to describe someone with learning disabilities.
But whatever, I simply go a different way now and avoid the cluster that Spring Loop has become each morning.
