At double the current rate?


If that’s the case, then the school have made a wrong decision to award to this operator.

And by the way, if this new operator is not interested in the long distance business, then I hope the school will reconsider allowing the current operators to run as usual.

I think the steep increase maybe due to the operation of single session as they no longer have students to fetch in the afternoon. There is only a limited no of seats on the mini bus and hence reduce their revenue by half.

School buses are exempted from COE, and gas prices (diesel i supposed) have been fluctuating around the same old price points, so i don't see the justification for doubling the price.


I can only think of is the tpt company is sacrificing those staying further away to make the general population that stays nearer pay cheaper rates.

I stay very near 10 min walk . Still price has been doubled. It's almost pointless to take the bus for me.

Hi

i think this is not true, since we only go Single Session at least 2 years down the road.

Many possibilities.


But let’s hope the school can negotiate a great package deal (if that’s really the initial intention from the school) for us parents in today’s meeting.

Else I say this new operator have to GO, as they don’t bring any form of value-add to anyone, other than wasting most parents (if not all) time requesting for a better deal.

Just received the newsletter that Mr Ng is leaving and there will be a new Principal replacing him- Mr Chia Soo Keng (Principal of Endeavour Primary School).


As for prize giving, does anyone know for P1, it is based on their common test results?

Thought how come ST so free to report HPPS principal's movement.
Its just MOE's new appointment list.

Anyway this was announced in the latest letter-to-parents, together with the new bus operator resolution.

At least now the school is monitoring it very closely, and emails for feedback is made public.

Hi all affected by or has something to share on the new bus operator, please share on this thread and I will collate. Will send via HPPA to the school.


To start with. I am happy with my gal’s bus driver. Very friendly and responsible. Price reasonable. I had also spoke with at least 5 other parents and all surprise on the sudden change.

Plse share more so that we can voice our concern to school.

Thanks.
