Jav:

Btw, how's the traffic to the temp school?

It has been quite bad the past 2 days.. there is only one lane to get into the school and another lane to get out. There is a long queue just outside the school because everyone's driving through that narrow lane to get into the school.

[smurf]

oh no, was planning to drive to the sch if sch bus dun work out. seem that sch bus is the ONLY solution now.


is it because of the construction nearby?

[smurf]

really hope that the sch can move back very soon.

My son's bus fare also increased by $10 so now it's $150 per month for one way only.


Have to wait for 1.5 year before they move back

I have yet to experience the jam since sonny only starts today. But Principal said can drive in to drop kids leh

[Audrynzen]

Depends… I think if you arrive before 7pm where all the school bus are still alighting students, they will get you to drop the kids at the side gate… that’s what happened yesterday. However, today they let me drive in and drop my boy at the parade square.

[pherie]

Yeah… Principal say they revised after they monitored for the 1st day. Maybe the rest of the parents (of P2- p6) didnt know yet?

[happy to be mum]

i think for these few days, will be more chaotic, need to settle down.


upset abt the school bus now…saw alot of boys sharing seats…3 boys to 2 seats? Is this allowed? called bus uncle with regards to pick up and drop off points…told me not happy can dun take! #$%^…angry man! agree with smurf, at their mercy…

[Audrynzen]

Guess they are still trying to sort out the capacity issue since it’s single session now.


My son’s bus uncle rented another bus just to ferry those boys staying around my area as his bus cannot accomodate all the children now that it’s single session. The positive that came out of this is that even though the school is now further, my son is back earlier… at least 20 mins earlier.

My 2 sons are also taking school bus now because of the re-location. Would anyone know who we can report the seat sharing, as I thought the new LTA rule states that all children should be buckled up. My boys have to share seats as they are one of the last few to board the small school bus. Also, they have been coming home feeling sick as the bus journey is too hot (as aircon is not cold enough) and they are the last to get off.
