That was one of the points they raised. I am trying to remember if the number was seven, but they were saying that if the bus was there, more people would choose it. However, because there is no guarantee of the bus, parents are choosing to send their children somewhere else. Therefore, it is like the chicken and the egg; which comes first? There definitely were expressions of interest from up to 12 children who would have used that bus but, unfortunately, because it was not there, the parents chose to send their children somewhere else.
