School bus service resumes after strike
New York City school bus drivers who serve tens of thousands of children were back at work Wednesday after a monthlong strike that forced students — many of them disabled — to take taxis, public transportation or car services to school.
“We’re happy to be back,” said driver Philip Pan, 57, whose dashboard was adorned with a hand-drawn “Welcome back” card, complete with a picture of a bus.
“We’re like a family. We’re really close with these kids,” said Pan, who’s been on the job eight years.
