Mr. Ertischek, The biggest problem is that they purchased routing and scheduling software (Versatrans) that has never had a successful large city implementation and passed on a company that is in 81 of the top 100 largest school districts in the country. Versatrans created the routes for Boston not First Student.. Another firm has offered to come in and optimize their routes for free but BPS does not want to admit that the purchase of Versatrans was a mistake.
