Transport: Teens face two-hour commutes under new transport rules
Sam, 34, a single mother with two children, is one of the parents who will be impacted by these changes.
Her 12-year-old son Owen has epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
She said it would take Owen two hours to walk from their home to Mountain Ash comprehensive school.
“He’d have to leave for school at half six in the morning, Owen thinks it will take him two hours to get to school,” she said.
“I live on a mountain, It’s not safe to walk to the school, I wish the person who is planning this would come and do Owen’s walk to school.
“There’s no crossings, it’s dark, the pavements are narrow or at times they aren’t any, and there’s no public transport from where we are.
“It’s concerning.”
