Miu Miu,

Yes, diff between 1 way and 2 ways only $5 off.
Think it’s quite standard for other sch bus operator. I checked with frens from other pri sch also mentioned diff is $5 off.

I find $155 from punggol- hougang v expv

My nephew sch bus fare from tamp to newton 2 way is $180. At least the distant is longer to justify the px paid.

Babyjan, yes lor. I don't mind paying $155/$150 if my DD reach home before 3pm. I pay so much and yet she still gets to reach home after 3pm.

U staying in punggol right? It’s expv because u asked for the smaller bus. Why dun u enquire the fee if it’s the bigger bus and asked wat time to reach home? But the morning pickup time could be earlier, before 7am.

Babyjan, morning my Hubby will drive her so she don't have to wake up so early. I am prepare to pay that much for the smaller bus but really upset that she still gets to reach home about the same timing with the big bus.

I think there is no control to choose big or small bus. It’s driven by supply and demand and the designated bus route. If more students stay in that areas, then the bus operator will need a big bus, and vice versa.

My fren's daughter, staying in punggol, taking the sch bus this year is paying $100 for 2 ways. So I wonder is there an increase in the bus fare in 2014.

.

With regards to whether or not there is an increase in school bus fare, the answer is yes. It was communicated to existing students before the school term ended in Nov. Though it was mot stated how much increment to expect.

Our school bus operator is not the only one increasing its fees for 2014. My niece's school in the east also.

I requested for smaller bus and they gave it to me. However as mentioned previously the arrival time for both type of buses big and small are almost the same.

Small bus arrival time ~3.10pm
Big bus arrival time ~ 3.30pm

This information was by the bus operator.

I find this school bus operator charges are rather expensive. If you take $155 divide by 20 days per month, it's close to abt $8 a day. If take public transport, am sure it will not exceed $2.

Agree, $8 is not cheap.

Her form teacher will have the list, and will group the girls before they leave the class room.

They will have ribbons tied to their school bags, a unique colour for each bus.

And then the bus assistant will also have the list, and he/she will take attendance and will make sure everyone is present before letting the whole lot board the bus.

They are surprisingly very organised, considering the large numbers of similar looking girls they have to handle.
