School bus fare

[donian]

Hi, would like to get an estimate on how much is the school bus fares that parents are paying.


I stay about 2 km away from school (15mins bus ride) and am charged $140 for my DD’s transport to and from school. The school only have one school bus operator hence I don’t have much of a choice but to pay as request. Is this a reasonable amount?

It also depends on size of bus. We are on a mini bus and only 9 students. Charge $125 for 2 ways. School is around 15 mins drive.

Both DD and DS are in schools outside of 2km from my home both about 15mins drive from my place. I am paying $90 for DD and $95 for DS. Both on those big bus. Think they are like 30 seaters.

Mine is like a 14 seater. If driving car, the school is like 15 min drive away but the school bus takes about an hour


I pay $150 for two ways.

Hi, it also depends on whether the area they serve is HDB estate, in that case more students, bigger bus, so lower fare each


if pte estate or few students, less students, higher fare

The size of bus plays a part. For big buses, the charge is lower. For mini van type, charge higher.


I observed the type of housing probably plays a part too… My kids’ bus mate stays in a HDB across the road and he is charge slightly below $100. While we are charge $125 and I’ve 2 kids on the same bus.
