The sun article said it was a few short blocks to pick up the kids, and then it stated she wasn't in traffic and didn't drive.

Either the Herald version was correct, or the Sun is missing the clearly more important story in which this woman has a teleportation device in her vehicle.

Yes, to drive students in a private vehicle is a bad idea

While yes, it's not a short distance, and yes from a good samaritan point of view she did the right thing, but I don't think the bus company is really out of line here.

Winter driving conditions, she gets in an accident with a kid in the cargo area and this is a very, very different story.
