Yes i also find that it's too pricey for the bus. Is it becos school located in town/premium location? I'm staying near Holland (Bouna Vista), they charge 1 way $114, 2 ways $140 which i think it's too ridiculous. I did ask on Sat why is it so ex for 1 way, it should be 1/2 of 2 ways fee $70 right? they told me 1 way is 80% of 2 ways price. So 2 ways more worth it they told me. jialak ler, i got 2 kids (twins ). X2 siong ! I might as well take cab everyday to return from school.... sigh

Hmmm.. they told u the prices???? They refuse to tell me and will only say when route is finalised then prices will be out....

[Dearkids]

I think basically the staff are just based on estimation & prices are not finalised cos when I enquire mine staying at Telok Blangah , the staff estimate around $120 for 2-way…

[prettybel]

Usually one way is more ex. Its not calculated half price of two way trip.

Basically is depends on the dist. But their minimum charges is already very high.

Patlsy79, is your kids in 1 Creativity? Saw my boy's class list and noticed a pair of twins ... I'm staying at Queenstown, quoted about $110 for 1-way transport ..
