West Lothian Spends Big on School Buses

West Lothian Council is splashing seven million pounds on school transport for over six thousand students—nearly $1,200 per kid—raising eyebrows as critics question why the Scottish Government isn’t picking up the tab, especially since teens already get free bus passes. The council spent $200 more per student than planned, but their policy is actually more generous than the legal minimum, serving around four thousand students. Costs are in line with the national average, and while they’re exploring public transport options to cut expenses, savings aren’t expected to be massive.
