UPDATE 10/1: I received a phone call from Krapf’s today, and was informed that they took immediate action when they found out about this situation and replaced the driver on this route. They also asked for permission to use the video for training purposes, which I said they could do.
UPDATE 9/22: This morning (Monday September 22nd), I saw a West Goshen police car sitting on Pennsylvania Avenue at about 8am looking at the intersection. Bus # 125 came through right as scheduled and did not come to a complete stop again at the stop sign. The police car then followed him, so I would have to assume that he probably was planning on talking to the driver after he dropped the children off at school, or got back to the bus depot.
Last Monday (September 8th), I saw a Krapf School Bus run a stop sign in our neighborhood when I was on my way into work. I even saw children on board. I went out at the same time the next day (to see if it was a bad day for the driver, or a pattern) and I saw the same thing!
I went out again, this time with my video camera, and filmed this on Thursday and Friday last week, and then again Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week. Apparently nothing was done about this driver, either by the busing company or the police. I think it dangerous to have a school bus driving like this, especially when kids are on board.
