A Killeen parent is raising concerns that the bus his daughter takes to school each morning is so overcrowded that some students are forced to sit on the floor in the aisles.

Sean Jacobs said he began to worry after his daughter, a Killeen High School student, told him students were sitting three to a seat and even in the aisles during their daily ride to school on the No. 474 bus.

“When I saw kids sitting on the floor, that’s when I really started to get concerned,” Jacobs said. “It just isn’t safe.”

A Sept. 11 photo Jacobs sent to the Herald shows the inside of a bus full of students, many of whom appear to be sitting in the aisle of the bus. Jacobs said Wednesday overcrowding on the bus has been an issue since the beginning of the school year, which started in late August.
