      Today I was,at the school to watch the dismissal.

      Seems like the P1 are only dismissed near 2pm.
      All the buses have to wait for them. Only when all the students are on the buses, then the buses started leaving together.
      I took e bus together and it left school ard 2.20 and reach 2.45pm
      15min earlier.
      Hopefully it Wil improve.
      Once all e P1 know their buses it will be faster.
      P1 released late today? Thought supposed to release at 1:40pm for all classes?

      Did you notice some buses depart on time and the earlier buses came back again to do a second round of drop off.

      It seems now that Rui Feng did not cater 1 bus for every route. They reuse the buses so some students reach school very early in the morning and some schools reach home very late in the afternoon.

          seems more organised now. Heard on Friday there are no queues and the students do not know where to sit. The drivers have to look at the name tags of each student.

          Now is to target the punctual dismissal of the classes so the buses can leave earlier and also for the morning pickups, have Rui Feng to have dedicated buses for the routes.

            Now that you mentioned it, I'll certainly pay more attention because my kid is prob in the early round in the morning.. I'm also concerned that the operator is (according to my boy) squeezing as many as 4 kids to each seat meant only for 2! (3 across plus the smallest build one on their laps). That doesn't sound safe nor comfortable.

              I think each child needs to have a seatbelt according to LTA requirements last year. No more sharing of seats unless the buses can cater 3 seat belts in that row. It is definitely not safe. We need to feedback to Rui Feng.

                My bus is only half filled.

                Depends on the area. But yes I do notice that they Do7n advocate seat belts.
                Ridiculous they charge $90 two way and $85 1 way…
                Previous operator only $70…

                      Slight improvements today. Morning bus is now about 10 mins late while afternoon bus is about 10 earlier than yesterday. The afternoon timing still can be improved further.


                      This morning I noticed that the auntie check on the students to put on seat belt first before the bus move off. She never ensure this past 2 days.

                      Any idea last year what time the classes are dismissed? Same time as this year, 1:40pm?

                      Can feed him dinner later, maybe at 7pm? Can also try reduce the lunch or dinner portions since the meal times are so close.

                      My daughter tried to snack on some bread while waiting to board the bus but was stopped by the school staff. The school should allow the students to snack on something first as the buses don’t depart on time.

                      Rui Feng is such a small company that there isn’t a proper channel to feedback to them. And the school doesn’t wish to interfere with this.

                        oh good for you…

                        I worry my DS so skinny still got no time to eat.
                        Its not good for them growing up… havin such irregular meals
                        Besides he sleep at 8pm, cant have dinner too early…

                        Last yr the P1 are in afternoon session. But morning session go off at 1.40pm…
                        Is it true that every Wednesday ends later than 1.30pm?
