Parents split on stoppage

Patience over the city school-bus strike is wearing thin, and frustrated parents are taking sides.

“I understand the city being stubborn, because [the drivers] shouldn’t get more than they’re entitled to as private workers, and ultimately we pay with our taxes,” said Victor Tsvik, of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, as he spent an hour yesterday morning taking his 9-year-old son to PS 99 in Midwood.

But Queens single mom Rosaline Davies, 39, had more sympathy for the striking drivers.

“They have to do what they have to do for themselves,” Davies said.

“They have to survive and be able to provide, too. The city should work with the people.”

Bed-Stuy mom Erica Morgan said she understands all that. But after setting her alarm clock for 4:30 a.m. to get her four kids to school on the train yesterday, she’s not so sure the union’s fight is a noble one.

“I understand what [the drivers] are going through,” Morgan said.

“But they need to think about the kids’ education first.”
