FAQ
Q1: What are bus fares for return and one way trips?
Answer: The school bus fare structure for return and one-way trips are for normal schooling hours (7.30am – 1.30pm/1.40pm). The fare will be calculated based on distance from school to home obtained from the website: www.onemonitoring.com.sg in which the shortest distance apply.

If there is insufficient student taking that bus service, additional charges may be imposed by the bus operator.

Once all are accounted for, the bus driver will personally lead the students to the bus for their trip home.
