“It's not Passover yet. No, no, no. It's April 1st. Yeah, April 1st. Yeah. So I'll write... I can write an email to the chief and ask him if he could just to look out for that bus on Friday at 2 to 2.30. You know... I couldn't keep this inside. You're saying the same thing.

It's the same as I report when I'm driving to school in the morning. I'll look at bus drivers talking on their cell phone. You can't do that. I get the bus number, and I call dispatch. I'm a tattletale when it comes to children in school. It's just me. But I'll follow up with the chief. Yes, sir. Thank you.”

“We definitely need to do some homework and look before the new budget comes out and looking for a new service. There's lots of bus companies. In Miami, we're a tourism city. Yeah. Unfortunately, I inherited this company and I inherited this contract. Before you, Rudy, this idea of the handicap ramp lift has been brought up for years.”

“I mean it's not, I have put handicapped children on the school buses, but you're talking a 15, 20 pound little child that are in car seats.

Well the bus shows up with 20 car seats. Okay. You have to sit there and wait until dispatch sends you another bus with 40 car seats. I'm sorry that happened. When's the next? This Wednesday? This coming Wednesday? Okay. Where are you going? I say we get out signs. We're not entering the bus…”
