      Hi, I’m wondering how school bus fare is computed? Isn’t it based on distance? I’m paying $74 for a 2 way trip from my place at Hougang to Montfort Junior whereas somebody who is staying at SengKang is paying only $69. Can somebody enlighten me? Thanks!

          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.
