Whoops! Transit Windsor forgets to pick up students and makes them miss exams

Transit Windsor is apologizing to the Catholic school board after several of its buses forgot to pick students headed to school for year-end exams.

Pat Delmore of Transit Windsor called it a "scheduling error" and assured the board buses will be available after school to drop students off.

"We probably added some additional stress to them on a day that they needed to write an exam and we recognize that and are certainly apologetic for that," adds Delmore.

Catholic School Board Spokesperson Steve Fields says a significant number of students were affected by the mix-up.

Some students get extra study time

However, the stranded students aren't being let off-the-hook from writing their tests.

Most students who arrived late were given extra time to make up for the loss, but 10 lucky students will get a few more days of study time.

"We have a turn-around day and that's Thursday. So anybody who missed their exam today as a result of the scheduling mix-up will be able to write their exam on Thursday," explained Fields.
