The Seneca Nation of New York has barred a bus company from entering the reservation due to problems with the busing of tribal children.
Seneca President Barry E. Snyder said the Carrier Coach company has injured children, missed pickups and operated buses without functioning heaters. He cited an incident in which at least two Seneca students needed emergency medical help.
The tribe is helping to arrange alternative transportation to schools in the Gowanda and Lake Shore districts. The tribe is also encouraging carpooling.
