Afraid of school bus

hi all,


Just wondering if any of you have kids taking the school bus in the form of a van.

Are they safe in your experience ? and the ventilation ? for P1 kids who are quite tall, will it prove to be very cramped ?

The reason why I am asking is most probably the school bus plying on the route will be in the form of a van.

Many thanks.

Now most school bus come with A/C and make sure the smaller van comes with seat belt which is mandatory after the accident which killed a boy some years back.

Is it true that seat belt is a must in the school bus ? My daughter is still squeeze into 3 kids per seat… I had complainted to the bus association and they said that this is allowed by LTA…

Hi all,


How is the school bus arrangement with school like? Intend to send DD to BASC in future but not sure if it can be arranged.

Oso if they have CCA in P3 and have to go to school earlier, is it possible to arrange with the school bus as well? Or do we have to do the fetch/send on CCA days?

Any working parents who can share their views with me?

Read a pamphlet on the seat belt thingy,
and it stated that there was a deadline
like by 2013 or something ALL small
vans MUST be equipped with seat belts.

Lemme check whether i still have the
pamphlet and will post it here.

Ya, should be able to arrange.
Ring up your child's school transport
to find out the details and timing. Or
if your child's school offer after school
care, even better... no need transport.

My nephew's primary school offers
after school care at only extra like
$30.00 if i'm not mistaken. Value
for money, familiar environment
and most of all within safe school
grounds not requiring travel..

Wow, that sounds like a great arrangement. Do you know if we can find a list of schools which offer after sch care at their own premises?

I googled and found Sembawang, North View and Seng Kang. I heard that Clementi Primary has this service too but I can’t confirm it at their website.
