School bus fare
-
Ours…
$53 (two-ways)
$40 (one-way)
Previous school…
$39 nett (regardless two ways or one way)
About 10mins to school thereabouts. Hehee… agaration oni orh. -
Bus operators don’t earn $ during school hols, hence full month’s fees still payable.
-
We are charged $100 for one-way from school (Bukit Timah) to home (Bishan). $110 for 2-way.
On months which DD stays back for CCA / enrichment, we will need to pay $20 extra.
Is this extra charge normal? -
Understand that these drivers need to eat and still pay for the buses even though we do not use their service in June and Dec. However, I have always felt that they could have incorporated that june & Dec fees into the other 10 mths. At least that way, parents won’t get that ‘arm kenna twisted’ and being made to pay when no service is rendered. And there are those parents who feel that since I paid for June & dec, why am I not getting the school bus service when my kid needs to go to school during the holidays.
I have asked the bus drivers that my centers engage about this and they say aiyah all the while like that, want to change oso difficult. -
hello all…
mine school is for Kindergarten… 2-5mins drive (i have to take transport cos i’m working and caregiver looking after another bb)…
2 ways : $100
1 way: $70
and…pick up is 1 hr earlier.
no choice to take 2 ways… forced to take 1 way… sigh…
Tell me these drivers are not making money~~ -

My dd has been taking school bus for 5 years. Over the years, we bear a fraction of the increase in bus fare. In other words, we are paying lower fare as compared to another student who has just taken the bus recently.

the CCA extra seems to be about there. I used to pay abt $40/45 per term or $75/semester.We are charged $100 for one-way from school (Bukit Timah) to home (Bishan). $110 for 2-way.
On months which DD stays back for CCA / enrichment, we will need to pay $20 extra.
