Bus overcrowding is a big problem in the Marlborough community. It is important for buses to not be overcrowded because overcrowded buses can cause dangers to students, challenges and unsafe working conditions for bus drivers, and other hazards like flying objects or fights. 26% of students said they “often” have to share a seat with 1 or more students. 69% percent of students said that they also believe bus overcrowding is an issue. 20% of students, (also the highest vote,) rated their own bus overcrowding issue a 4 out of 5 in how bad it is.
