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.

Thank you very much for the explanation. It reduces tons of my worries!

Blue or black clips can be used to clip the fringe to the side.

Hi Kokoon, your gal is taking one way? So the bus operator actually called you and inform you the bus number?
