Students attending two East Belfast high schools are having to take "six buses a day" after a dedicated service from a private company was halted.
Children at Ashfield Boys and Girls High Schools have been struggling to make it to class on time due to the issues they are having with buses, with parents saying their children are spending four hours everyday trying to get too and from school.
The schools had previously had a dedicated service with private company Belfast Buses, but the contract with the company was halted during the last school term leaving students relying on public bus services.
