        May I know do you need to pay Dec fees too?

        Dec's bus fees was paid together with July's when Term 3 starts.

        June's bus fees was paid together with Jan's when Term 1 starts.

        :moneyflies: amount is alot if you have more than 1 kid..... 😓

          Received bus cards yesterday, stating to collect \" both Oct & November's bus fees..........now wondering :roll: should i stop taking the school bus in november since the kids will be attending school for only 2 weeks......... 🤷 but somehow feeling abit uneasy for being unfair to the bus operators :oops: :sad:

          You have 2 choice:
          1) To pay Oct and Nov fee, and take transport till school holiday starts.
          2) Not to pay Oct and Nov fee, arrange transport on your own from Oct-Nov.

          I do not think they allow you to pay Oct and not pay Nov.

          Bus Operator normally collect Jan+Dec fee, May+Jun fee and Oct+Nov fee together.

                  Bus fare is usually calculated for the whole year and then divided by twelve. So it is not that we are paying for nothing during the holidays. The bus operator would have informed u of the terms and conditions regarding withdrawal, maybe you can check the handout and guidelines from them.

                    i read somewhere few years back when dd was P1, there is no way we can cut corner for bus fare… we have to pay the full 12 months including sch holidays… if not who is paying the driver plus the bus maintenance?? if we really want to split hair they can take the full year amount and divide by 9mths instead of 12 to remove all sch holidays…

                      My son’s bus service provider collects June, Nov and Dec by the end of July. No chance to escape paying. Think you can cancel only if you are discontinuing the bus service totally. If you cut now and rejoin again with the same driver, he’s gonna blacklist you…

                        He has yet to say anything but will probably pass him the oct n nov fees at the end of the month.
