Has anyone been contacted by the school bus company about the pick-up time/location on the P1 Orientation Day this Saturday?

wow, i didn't checked the update of this topic for just half a day & realized that many more people have joined this chatroom. wonderful.
Ops... we received a call from the school bus nanny 2 days ago and confirmed the pick up time of the Sat is 8:30am at Tiu Keng Leng (the usual pick up point).
I just wonder if we could arrive before 9am. The normal pick up time is 7:10am and the school hour is 8:10am.

Really !? How come the school bus company is not yet prepared ? It's Thursday now & they have to start the service two days later. Strange.
I think most of the school buses (different routes) target to arrive at the school around
7:45-7:50 a.m., though all the pupils are requested to arrive at the classrooms not later than 8:10 a.m. when the class period starts.
The school bus company should have reserved some leeway in the travelling time, just in case there might be accidents/congestion on the road sometimes.

looks like they have different people responsible for different districts. just need to wait until they call...hopefully sometime before Sat.
our dear "principal", i hope the school is more efficient in their administration!

I live in Kln City & the normal pick-up time is also 7:10am. Strange. I suppose TKO should be further away from the school than Kln City. When we take school bus this Sat, maybe we can get a clue.
As far as I know, the school bus company is the main co-ordinator for services of different routes.
They may sub-contract different routes to different licensed owners of school bus.
Therefore, the final arrangement for the test drive on coming Saturday has been fixed for certain routes while some others are still finalizing the details.
It may depend on the individual route.

If you are talking about the physical distance, you are correct in saying that Kowloon City is closer to the school than TKO.
However, if Little_Princess' stop is almost the last stop of the route and the school bus will go all the way on the highway to school without too many traffic lights, it's possible to reach the school in about 30 minutes.
But if your stop is one of the first few stops of the route and the school bus needs to stop at many points with dozens of traffic lights, it may even end up with longer time to reach the school than the school bus from TKO.

To be very honest with you, I do not have any insider information at all.
At least I do not know the content of the test and examination papers, though my current login name always makes me look rather suspicious!!
It's only for fun!!

Thanks for your input. You really know a lot of everything about the school.
Hello, my daughter is in 1E (French). Hope will find other parents from the same class too.
I've just received a call from the bus company that they will call us again regarding the school bus pick up time on Sat.
But I find the bus service is not too bad as they are willing to change the normal pick-up time when they received calls from other parents of our bus that the time was too early, and they also have "short-month" bus fee.
