No consideration

Students Without Fall Break Wait for Their Bus

Several educational institutions in Upper Austria are skipping the “break” between the holidays. However, the bus schedule doesn’t take this into account. As a result, the affected students have to figure out their own way to school, which sometimes leads to problems.

“I’m standing out in the cold waiting for a bus, but it’s not coming,” is what many students might be thinking next week. While the vast majority of boys and girls will be swapping the classroom for their bedrooms during fall break, some will have to hit the books. When the transit companies switch to the holiday schedule, this inevitably leads to problems.
