Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region has warned of rotating route cancellations, continuing until December. 

It's due to an ongoing bus driver shortage that led to safety concerns

The organization has said no bus route will be cancelled for more than a week at a time, and that the measure is necessary to help alleviate some of the delays and last-minute cancellations. 

The executive director of School Bus Ontario told CityNews earlier this week that the driver shortage is not just being felt locally, as it's currently a province-wide issue.
