The bus didn't show up on time for my ward. How long should he/she wait at the stop?

There will be a waiting period of 5-7minutes based on the traffic in every route or stop. The best solution would be to be in touch with a parent who travels the same route and coordinate the arrival of the bus. This is keeping in mind the need to be sensitive to the bus driver and avoid disturbing him during his drive.

My ward's bus is overcrowded. Can some students be placed on another bus?

The bus will accommodate the children based on the number of seats available. 

I see buses all the time with only a few students on them. What are they doing?(a redundant question)

The students availing transport as per the route will be on the bus. Sometimes we may not have the bus in full capacity as the route may have fewer students who have availed for transport. While we try to club them with other routes, at times this may lead to a longer drive for students.

We live very far from the school and there is no bus stop near for my ward. How do I arrange transportation?

You would need to be able to drop the student to the nearest pick up point of the school bus and likewise pickup your ward at the closest drop -off point of the bus.

My ward goes to a day care provider in an area with bus service. May my ward ride the bus?

Yes, as long as the same pick up and drop off is maintained consistently. (answered in Q3)

My ward is a special need student. To whom should I speak concerning his/her transportation?

The transport Manager and the Principal.

My ward left an item on the bus. How can I retrieve it?

The caretaker would have handed over the item to the Transport Manager.

Are my ward's movements being tracked?
