I have called up quite a few schools so far, I was quoted $80 (mini van) and $120 (private car) for 2-way from 2 operators. Is this the norm? Thanks!</p>

Safety: Imagine if your kids are allowed to move around when the bus is moving. They might fall!<br /><br />2. Noise Level: I recall reading an article about how noise level can effect a driver's concentration level while on the road. Imagine if there's alot of noise and the driver is distracted, causing an accident with the kids on the bus! Even as a school teacher, I did not allow my students to make alot of noise on the bus because of this. Noise adds to the bus driver's frustration and may cause accidents.<br /><br />For a short ride, I think it's alright to seperate them. It's not like they are seperated forever. <img src="https://forum.kiasuparents.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f61b.png?v=f4f27f6278e" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--stuck_out_tongue" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":p" alt="😛" /><br />And anyway, they should be seperated cos of the seatbelts. I know my son's schoolbus has seatbelts and all kids must be seated in their own seats with the seatbelts on. <br /><br />Must remember: Safety first <img src="https://forum.kiasuparents.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f642.png?v=f4f27f6278e" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--slightly_smiling_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":)" alt="🙂" /><p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/226943</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/226943</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[mrswongtuition]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:32:23 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Market rate for school bus to&#x2F;fro childcare ctr on Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:16:27 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">Dear all,<br /><br /><br />Any recommendations to the above? thks</p>

Once, my maid was stuck at embassy because of her passport and my parents were overseas, no one to pick him up. I had to ask my bestie (she stays a few levels below my parents) to help me, I SMSed the teacher to inform them and they asked me to MMS a pic over or they'll call me to verify again.</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/188327</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/188327</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[mrswongtuition]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 May 2010 03:47:51 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Market rate for school bus to&#x2F;fro childcare ctr on Thu, 20 May 2010 02:04:58 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Hi<br /><br /><br /> :?:  i need to find transport for my boy and nephew who will be attending child care. the school has transport at 4.30 to send home. but it will be too early to send the 2 boys back to my mum house as she need to cook. so i wonder any contacts for mini van to pick them up at abt 5.30 - 6.30?<br /><br />Thanks in advance...</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/188263</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/188263</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[qiqi09]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 May 2010 02:04:58 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Market rate for school bus to&#x2F;fro childcare ctr on Tue, 10 Feb 2009 16:31:42 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Heyya libra_leo,<br /><br /><br />If the distance between home and ctr justifies the<br />amount paid, i'd say yes, it will be worth it..<br /><br />Just calculate, if you were to send your child to and <br />fro by bus and by taxi, two persons expenditure via<br />public transport.<br /><br />With transport, there's the convenience factor...<br />and plus for my girls i noe for sure rain or shine<br />they'll be there on time.
