Parents of some 25-30 students using a well-known Mumbai school`s bus service were a worried lot on Monday as their wards had not reached home in time on the first day of physical classes post the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to several of them reaching the gates of the facility and some taking to social media.

A police spokesperson said the driver of the bus was new and hence took a longer route to drop the children home, which resulted in wastage of time by as much as 30 minutes.
