Bus Service

In the event of rain, the drivers have been instructed to stop at the nearest sheltered area that is safe for boarding and alighting.

If the bus fails to arrive within 15 minutes of the scheduled pick-up time due to unforeseen circumstances such as storms, flash floods or road closures, reimbursement can be obtained from the Transport Office for the cost incurred for the 1-way journey by submitting a designated claim form duly filled out and supported by proper proof of payment/receipt within 3 working days of the expenses being incurred. (from bus registration form)

Johnson Transport and Trading Pte Ltd aims to deliver students to the designated drop-off within 45 – 60 mins of departure from AIS (Certain areas will require slightly longer time).

At times, it may be necessary to re-evaluate bus transport requirements regarding schedules and acceptable maximum travel time frames.

Students Should :

• Remain seated and keep their seat belts fastened throughout their journey
• Put their bags under the seat
• Keep the bus free of litter
• Refrain from speaking loudly
• Keep their stationery and any potentially dangerous items such as pen knives in their bags
• Practise consideration towards fellow students in their use of language and behaviour
• Observe punctuality when boarding
• Not eat or drink in the bus (except for water)
• Not change or remove their attire in the bus
• Not take their pets on the bus.
• Not reserve seats for their friends

It is a statutory requirement of the Land Transport Authority in Singapore for all school buses to undergo 6-monthly safety inspections before they are allowed to carry passengers and travel. Should this requirement not be fulfilled, the school bus cannot and will not run under any circumstances. In addition, the School conducts inspection on the buses before each new term to ensure that seat belts, first aid kits and fire extinguishers are in good working order.

Due to regulations of the National Environment Agency in Singapore (Equal to the EPA in Australia), buses are prohibited to have engines running whilst being stationary. There are regulations concerning these matters and are subjected to a fine. However, the air-conditioning is started at 15.15 hrs in order to ensure proper ventilation once the children are seated on the school bus.

No. In our constant effort to maintain good order and punctuality and for safety reasons, such “cross-transfers” may give rise to confusion and delays.

As a rule of thumb, students residing closest to the school will be picked-up later, whilst those residing further will be picked-up earlier. However, to optimise time-distance efficiency, the order of pick-up and drop-off is dependent on factors such as peak-hour traffic conditions and traffic rules.

As the enrolment of the School changes throughout the year, the bus service actively responds to these changes by mobilising a suitable bus and re-scheduling. However, no effort is being spared to ensure minimum changes occur through the year.

A two-week notice prior to the date of commencement from a new address is required.

Although the bus drivers adhere to their schedules closely, occasional delays occur due to unexpected traffic congestion, vehicle breakdowns, poor weather conditions or when the bus is kept waiting for a late student.

Payment can be made either by cash, interbank or cheque made to Johnson Transport & Trading Pte Ltd.

Remittance:

It is mandatory for all commercial vehicles in Singapore to purchase Third Party Vehicle Insurance Coverage. Johnson Trading and Transport Pte Ltd has additionally purchased Public Liability Insurance that covers accident claims up to the value of SGD$10 million.
