A strike at OmniRide continued on Friday and will last into the weekend, marking one week of no or limited bus service for riders who rely on the system to get to and from work or around town.
OmniRide says:
Parents and students who spoke to PLN about the situation say metal gates bar the entrances of several bathrooms throughout the school building at 839 Garrisonville Road in North Stafford.
Students and parents told PLN the majority of the school’s bathrooms are closed during a school-wide lunch hour. The hour-long lunch, which allows all students one hour to eat lunch, seek college counseling, catch up on studies, meet with teachers, or attend lunch-and-learn sessions, was instituted at the start of the current school year in August 2022 at all five county high schools.
