You are lucky that there is a school bus from Jur E to St Nicks. I have a friend who stays in Jurong too but there is no school bus to Pei Chun in Toa Payoh. So one way is taken care by parent and the other way is by domestic helper in a cab.Sigh.

I understand from industry sources that school bus fare is also determined by location, school type, years you have taken the school bus other than distance. For example, the fare will be different for the same distance travelled if you stay in Bukit Timah vs Jurong. School bus fare for main stream schools vs international schools vs private kindergartens will differ. I guess there is due to ability to pay.
My dd has been taking school bus for 5 years. Over the years, we bear a fraction of the increase in bus fare. In other words, we are paying lower fare as compared to another student who has just taken the bus recently. -
The school bus fare is very expensive. :mad:

One of the reason the fare is as such, is because the school bus is committed and obliged to pick up the SNG girls at 2 timings : School dismissal at 1:15pm/1:45pm, and CCA/Supp Class dismissal at 4pm.

My 2 DSes used to take school bus too. $35 one way (that's because very near), but if need adhoc picking after supp class or CCA, it will be $2 per trip.
It takes about 30-45mins to reach home, depending on the number of students the bus aunty needs to send home before her. -
