windows:June:We sign up for the private school bus too as it was highly recommended...
really? why? we thgt the school was agst private school bus so we din bother to ask when the private bus drivers try to solicit at the gate during orientation.
The private buses were the old school buses that operate to fetch students for many years. Until 3 or 4 years ago, the school called for open bid and the contract was awarded to the current official bus company.
However, the old school bus drivers after operating for so many years in KH, have already gained their reputation and supports from a lot of parents. Therefore they continue to operate there and that is why there are two groups of buses.
For my case, I started long ago for my DS with the private bus. I continue to use them because they are flexible if you need some special arrangements, and the service is very personal as you deal with the driver directly. While for the official bus, the drivers are employed by the bus company and you have to deal with the company instead of the driver.
And unlike the private bus driver who is always the same person I have been dealing with for the past 6 years, the official bus driver may not be the same guy all the time.
It is important for me that I trust the bus driver and I know him.
