Mayor Wu talks about efforts to get buses to school on time

On the first day of school in Boston, only about one third of buses arrived on time. School officials have blamed the issue on a new bus tracking and navigation app.

But as problems persist, two Boston city councilors are asking the state to investigate why the city’s school buses are running behind schedule each morning. And the state’s Education Secretary Patrick Tutweiler said yesterday the city’s failure to fix the problem is “not acceptable.”

WBUR's Morning Edition spoke with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu about her efforts to get kids to class on time. The mayor told host Tiziana Dearing that the on-time performance is improving since school started.
