WAT Peterborough - Lakefield, Ontario

Busses are speeding down romaine street daily. The one driver almost hit my son and 2 daughters as they were crossing the street as he wasnt looking and didnt even stop before he turned onto romaine. Horns blowing and back up beepers start at 5:30am and end at 10:30pm 5 days a week! It's time to find somewhere else to park the 8+ busses that isn't on a residential road disturbing all the tax paying residents on the street!

WAT has been excellent. The driver is always on time, friendly, and ensures my child’s safety every day. Communication is clear, and the bus is clean and well-maintained. I’m very happy with their reliable service!"

Better than all other scrap operators around the town, the way the drivers are trained and hired are truely remarkable.

Great job 👏

WAT is an excellent place to work, offering the best training and a supportive environment. I was trained by Jackson, who was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure I was well-prepared for the job. The workplace has a pleasant atmosphere with friendly drivers who are always professional and helpful. Overall, it’s a fantastic company that values its employees and fosters a positive working experience.

The one driver rushes past my home daily. We have called to voice our concerns to the company, but nothing has been done.

Did you train your employees on a go-cart track? Cause apparently they’ve never seen a stop sign before. We were running late (as my WAT driver does every day) and he didn’t even fully stop at the stop sign before flooring through it. This is a bus company, not Canadas Wonderland. I don’t need to be fearing for my life every single day on my way to school.

Let me see. Only 4 hrs of drive time to get their licence when they are required to have 16 hrs. Driving too slow. Doing uturns on busy roads. Failure to yield to oncoming traffic. Not using their lights. Slamming of brakes. Fueling their 40 ft bus in Lakefield petro Canada when it's already a tight space, even for regular vehicles. Backing onto busy roads. Non local drivers being lodged in hotels when stsco specifically said they were to hire locals. Hiring individuals who are excited to see snow for the first time, and these are the ppl that will be driving your kids this winter. Accident(s) waiting to happen. Someone's going to get hurt. Worst decision ever by stsco.

It’s like they weren’t properly trained or licenced. They don’t seem very familiar with the highway traffic rules and regulations let alone busing rules.. They don’t stop at railway crossings, can’t seem to drive proper speeds, don’t use bus lights accordingly. They seem confused all the time!! Very dangerous accident waiting to happen!!!

I feel so bad for all these families and kids having to deal with this unprofessional company. I was behind a big bus, the number was in the 7000s… failed to stop at a railroad crossing on Television Road

The former operator based out of Lakefield is so much better. STSCO made a huge mistake.
