      Wonder any parents here put your kids in the school bus? How is their service? They are using one big bus to fetch the whole bt panjang children about 30 - 40 students, more than 30 stops. Whereas for further kids like those in CCK, one mini bus is used. Understand kids shall reach home within an hr. I am wondering for bt panjang areas, if 1 stop takes up about 3 mins or so, 30 more stop will be around 90 mins. If my kids is the last one to alight, he probably will reach home by 330pm or later if there is delay at school. Any parents to share experiences? Later than those kids who stay further from school. Operator will try to cut cost and use 1 bus, sadly I am hestitate to take the school bus after hearing many negative feedback.

          I think for now they are still trying to monitor the timings..give them a week or so..im sure they will adjust all the timings accordingly once they stick to a route. in the meantime u can just put a small pack of no mess type of biscuit and remind ur child to eat it in the bus if he feels hungry.

          I suppose we should give some time for them to slowly adjust the timings..
          My kid reached my home bus stop around 230 and im living <1km from the school lol 🙂

              If they continue to stick to one bus to cover whole bt panjang, I really wonder how much can they improve on the timing.

                    During orientation, Mrs Jacinta Lim promised a "good" company is handling the transportation service. Heard from the mom of my girl classmate, when she called the bus company to feedback…she was told the driver was at fault for taking the wrong route. Whereas the Auntie driver claimed that the 2 different routes that she had taken were given by the company. 1 bus to send all 30 kids home is definitely insufficient. Hope WEST SPRING can help to liaise with the bus company for the betterment of all kids who are taking the bus transportation.
