After reading James Sikorski’s letter concerning busing issues (“Illegal school-bus passing,” Jan. 3, TribLIVE), I was pleased to see I’m not the only one concerned about this problem.

1) I have never received a citation for passing a school bus.

2) The situations the operators put other drivers in is insane. For example:

— Stopping on a blind curve, you are already past the flashing lights going around the bend.

— Stopping every 180 feet for high-schoolers. Huh?

— And my favorite, stopping to talk to parents, grandparents. etc. while the child is safely sitting on the bus. I’m sure they are solving the world’s problems while once again cars in both directions are waiting, waiting and waiting.

There has to be a better way. But I doubt if it changes.
