School bus drama in Wölbling: Parents outraged by collective punishment!

In Wölbling, Lower Austria, an incident in the school bus of line 481 causes great excitement among parents and students. Report on Vol.at According to it, the bus driver had all the children get out of the vehicle several times after misconduct. This handling of the young passengers was regarded by many parents as a collective punishment that was not acceptable.

The parents have already alerted two incidents. The first occurred when a student accidentally or deliberately pressed the holding button, which led to the fact that the bus held, but nobody got out. However, the driver decided to move all the children to get out and only let them get in a few minutes later. The students' tickets were checked again. A father reported that many children were frightened and some even had to walk home several kilometers. A second incident raged a week later when the children also had to get out at the Absdorf stop. This incident led the driver to agree to the police because the children refused.

Parents in turmoil

The parents' complaints at the Lower Austria transport company have so far remained without an answer. The frightened children and the stress they suffered led to a wave of outrage within parenthood. They are now calling for a review of the situation to ensure the security of the students and prevent such incidents in the future. Georg Huemer, spokesman for the Lower Austria, defends the driver's actions and explains that he had acted correctly to guarantee the safety of all passengers.

Huemer points out that there have been repeated problems with disrespectful behavior and disorders on the bus in the past. The safety of the children in school buses is top priority, especially when you consider that many students are promoted to school every day. Information from ADAC show how important regulations for security in school bus traffic are.

Safety measures for school buses

In Germany, school buses in which children are promoted must take certain safety precautions to avoid accidents and dangers. Children should be secured at the latest for buses over 3.5 tons with seat belts if they are available. Sitting in regular places should be the standard to minimize the risk of trips. Overcrowded buses, a common problem in school bus traffic, can also lead to dangerous situations, which is why it would be advisable to provide additional vehicles.

The persistent problems in the Wölblinger school bus throw a light on the need to take these safety measures seriously and, if necessary, to use school bus companions who coordinate the climbing and exit of the students and prevent aggressive behavior while driving.

The incident in Wölbling could serve as an impetus to check such regulations and, if necessary, adapt it to ensure that children get home safely to school and back home. It remains to be seen how the NÖVOG and the school will react to the legitimate concerns of the parents and whether measures are taken to improve security.
