Dad criticizes 45% school bus fare hike on Coventry-Rugby route
A father voices concern over a 45% increase in school bus fares on the popular Coventry to Rugby route, set to be operated by Stagecoach starting January 1. Currently costing £165 per term with National Express, the new fares will rise to £302.40, prompting the dad to call for reconsideration by the bus operator and Warwickshire County Council. The move has sparked debate over the impact on parents facing rising living costs.
