One school bus kept a 5-year-old autistic boy on board for three hours.
Another yellow bus carrying a 13-year-old with autism took a wrong turn and ended up in New Jersey.
A third bus had been slated to take an 11-year-old boy with Down syndrome to his former elementary school in Long Island City on the first day of school, rather than to his new middle school across Queens in Corona.
