A Wellington bus driver dumped a 10-year-old girl in an unfamiliar suburb in the pouring rain, after failing to drop her at school.
The bus company and Metlink has admitted multiple failings from the driver, and says it was a regrettable situation.
The girl was picked up last Monday in Miramar, in Wellington s eastern suburbs, and driven 45 minutes on the 621 bus to Queen Margaret College, in Thorndon.
Her mother, who asked not to be named so as not to identify her child, said her daughter did not get off the bus after becoming engrossed in a book.
