Are Ooltewah's Buses Too Crowded?

Hello, I’m Tony Caridad there are a lot of buses that are full, and Hamilton County hasn’t done

anything about it. I asked two students questions about the bus being full and how does it feel. I 

also asked their bus driver some questions. And by what they answered Hamilton County should 

do something about it. Here are the students I asked the questions (Arturo Knox and Christian 

Hernandez) their bus number is 359. Here are the questions I asked and the answers I got, 

Ac- How does it feel to sometimes sit on the floor or three to a seat?

       Ch- bad

Ac- If you could, what would you do to make more space on the bus?

       Ak- Tell Hamilton County to have more buses, for we can have more space.

Ac- How does it feel to drive around with students three to a seat?

       Bus driver- It feels horrible.

Ac-Do you think some Hamilton County should do something about it?

       Bus driver- yes

Ac- Has anyone ever fell out their seat on the bus and gotten hurt?

       Bus driver- Not really 

Ac- Have you ever fell off the seat while the bus driver turns?

       Ak- No, but other students have.

Ac- When students are loud does it disrupt your driving?

       Bus driver not really, but sometimes it can bother me.

Ac-Is the bus always full in the mornings and afternoons?

Ch- Yes, mornings and afternoons.    

Below are some examples of the bus when it’s full

By what you can see Hamilton County should have more buses. Thanks to (Bus driver) from 359 

and Christian and Arturo.
