School bus fare
-
alng:
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.
wah! schoolbus also got loyalty programme!

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.
Is this extra charge normal?
my girl used to pay abt $4/trip for another school. So if got more CCA/remedial...can lao-sai!!! -

I am paying $120 for one-way from school to grandparents' place (~30min) on a 10-seater bus.
just realized there is additional charges for later timing due to CCA/remedial
Thanks for sharing. -

Since I'm paying a flat $20 extra per month,
perhaps I should make DD stay back more often? :siao: -

Do you pay that $70 for all 4 terms? If so, then that's quite ex at $280 for the entire year!
Mine is $75 for 2-way (15mins trip). Extra is $70 per term.
For my $20, I only pay for the months which DD needs to stay back. Meaning I don't have to pay for June and Dec, so $200 for the whole school year. -

I believe it is charged by terms, so still need to pay during school holiday. Am still considering whether to let DD takes the bus, or she takes public transport herself. :evil:

So all the while parents have to pay school holidays like in Jan & Dec. Wonder can MOE form a task force to review the current system?
