講開校車,唔知你地小朋友架校車有無安全帶呢?我囡囡架校車無安全帶ga,同埋我覺得個司機好似mama地,試過有一次我囡囡上左車但個書包仲响我手未交比保母,點知當我同保母交接時,個司機關車門差點夾倒我隻手,我老公見狀十分緊張,覺得個司機好大意.

Hi, Linchan,

Thank you very much for your information.  What I want to know is if they are going to use BIG travel bus instead of the sizes we are using right now.  If it is BIG one, I won't use the new one.  It is because :

1. Big bus means need to take more students.  It could be more stops, hence more travel time.  (The attachment they provided right now is only based on the information from existing operation.  Changes will be made on stops, charges and pick up time.)

2. The kids are so small.  Once they seated, the EE will have difficulties to spot the kids.  So, anything happened, she can't find or stop it immediately.

Right now, the driver and EE of my route is very good.  They are willing to wait for us if we are late.  Even my 看更叔叔said they are the best among all the school buses he sees everyday in front of our building.

The EE told me that Sister Lam actually want to keep their services, only the headmasters in Primary and Secondary schools want the new one.  I heard that the problem of the existing one is only one of the route.  And the EE said there are a few routes already have parents confirmed to continue to use them instead of the new one.  So, those routes can continue to run as they are right now.  Therefore, if most of us do not want to make the change and said no on the 意向書, what will happen?  (Could be the new one hired them as their 車隊 instead???)

One thing I don't like this time is the school & the PTA did not have 透明度about : The detail reasons about why they need to change the school bus company?  Why they select this new school bus company?  (Last time, the school has notice informed about the reasons of their decision.)

I am still thinking if I should keep using the existing one.  The parent who live in the same block as mine has been using their service so long and are very satisfied with them.  She is not going to use the new one.  May be I should join her instead because I only need the service until K3.

Song,

So, you are not working mum.  Yes, I agreed that the kids will be more dependant without the maids.  However, I am not used to the house cords since I have been working so long.  With the 2 kids, I don't find enough time in handling all the stuffs.  And what I want to do with them is in their learning and playing.  Don't really want to spend too much time in housekeeping.  Moreover, I do want to have my own time to do shopping and other stuffs. Plus, sometime, my husband will be out of town.  Without the maid, I need to wake my younger one to send her sister downstair for school.  It is not convenient.  I think I will need a maid for another 2 - 4 years.  Once my 2 girls get older to take care of themselves and their homework, then I can do without them.

Elle, AmyWonglo
我地架校車都無安全帶,上年問過個女driver EE, 佢話佢地架架校車都係咁架喎...今年我地架校車轉咗個男driver. D 服務好咗,佷準時,driver同 EE又細心咗... 不過,好可惜我做唔到D咩嘢去挽留佢地, 正如之前跟AmyWonglo講,有時,'改變'呢樣嘢並不一定係壞事,睇我地点樣去接受架啫.尤其是而家已經塵埃落定,算數擺啦...

hayamama

AmyWonglo,
Sorry but I'm confused...
上回我哋傾嘅時候唔係話個學校決定所有嘅校車綫都無法續用架咩?難道而家有商量嘅餘地?係咪真架????? 但我都唔識呀女架校車仲有咩嘢站同埋咩嘢同學,咁点做先啱呢?

WaiMa

我囡個校車都好準時,又有安全帶,我都滿意,不過我就覺得上校車早咗d,我住荃灣,要7:40am上校車,成個半鐘,我見新校車安排遲15分鐘,我就覺得合理,我係個意見書已經提出安全帶及書包既事,希望佢地會更進。

我整理緊contact list,現等待Amywonglo, song, heiyan.mami, espirit, kuseiszeto既email addess, 希望11月26日派俾大家。

其實我都覺得校車好準時,個ee又好好,可能囡囡第一年搭校車我有d緊張,不過聽你地講而家間校車公司好左咁多我都放心好多lu.

Song, 你果度有無free parking?

有無人X'mas party果日會架車?

song

Sorry no free parking, but it is only $8/hr, just downstairs. Min 2 hrs as usual.

Hi, Hayamama,

你可能誤會了我的意思。校方與現有校車公司的合約至明年一月底結束，所以個別路線的司機及ＥＥ向家長查詢是否願意於二月後繼續乘搭他們的車。如是，便是搭保姆車而不是校車了。

我的意思是如果大部份家長不想改變用新校車公司的車隊，那麼會否令到該公司因學生人數不足而縮減路線,因而影响服務質數？如該公司不希望發生此情況便可能要招攬這些保姆車成為自己的車隊成員了。如這些保姆車不想加入的話，最終這新校車公司將可能因營運不佳而遭校方解除合約。(現有校車公司雖然服務St. Rose多年，但有合約只是去年的事。一年不夠便被解除合約了。按我的路線ＥＥ說是因為其中一後路線出現問題而該司機是股東之一，所以令他們全部受影响。)

所以家長的意願在此問題上便"舉足輕重"了。如繼續乘搭現有校車公司的車--將改為保姆車，便等於投了他們一票。將來會否因些而令他們重新獲校方聘用為校車則是後話了。

另外，我今早通知現時的司機及ＥＥ我会繼續用他們接載細女。正如我說，我只需用到Ｋ３，半年後又唔知校方會否又改合約，加上樓下家長選擇留用，方便照應，所以決定以"不變應萬變"算了。

Hi all 媽咪,
Regarding the school bus, there is also no seat belt in our existing school bus so I have to remind my girl to hold the rail all the time. We also feel satisfy to our route, they are very on time, I asked the school bus EE a week ago but she replied to me that she’s not sure whether they can continue the job or not, all depends on school’s decision Of course, the new school bus company may be maintained the good service same as the existing one but係呢個unknown的階段黎講兼又滿意現狀,我地家長就當然希望”坐生不如坐熟”啦.  
Hi Hayamama,
我同你一樣,I just learned the Chinese typing few months ago caused打中文更能表達我想講的話but it really takes very long time for me to type in Chinese.  
Hi Waima,
Please check pm for my e-mail address.  Let's discuss sharing the job for the X'mas party on 11/26

hayamama

AmyWonglo,
呵... ~ 如是者我哋都可能有希望搭认前架schoolbus喎...???

Kuseiszeto

其實我都覺得囡囡架校車同EE都好好ga, 真係好唔想有咩改變.   仲有張通告上的車費唔似得之前間校車公司寫明那一條route how much, 我個區個price係$710-750, 咁咪即係有機會變相加價,       我打電話去新校車公司問過,會唔會繼續聘用原有

espirt

Hi all 媽咪,

囡囡搭個條路線都好ok架, 而且我地個站ge媽咪都話唔希望轉, 但係佢地會睇埋試路線個日先再決定, 不過最重要係佢地一班小朋友能夠繼續一齊, 坐生不如坐孰, 所以都幾大機會坐番依家架校車!! 係喎會唔會無保障呢??

請問Sat去旅行個日係咪著校服呀?

WaiMa

The school hasn't mentioned what to wear on picnic.  I think they should wear uniform so that the school can easy manage.

Hi AmyWonglo

During last Friday's school bus meeting, the new school bus company did introduce their large bus fleet, including big coach and some other vans.  According to their boss Mr Tang said, they will also judge whether the route is suitable to use big coach, so I'm sure which route they will use big coach or mini-van.

Also during the meeting, the principals of Primary and Secondary did not explain clearly why they need to terminate the existing company, only emphasis that they had place the advertisement in the newspaper for tender and they have held several meetings for chosing the company.  Only when some parents expressed that they have some bad experience with the exisiting company, such as 飛車, 言語粗俗,不準時,etc, the principal came out and said YES YES, these are all their concern and why they need to change the company.

I also got no problem with the existing company but if the school has assigned the new one as their official school bus and if they will remain the stop as the exisiting one (or if even they can set the stop much near my place), I think I will have no objection to swift to them.

Hi, Kuseiszeto,

其实最大的差別是校車遲到不作遲到論。(可能改學上車地點也会有影响。等陣我接設學時問一問此點他們作為保母車的分則。) 我問過校車ＥＥ，佢話他們其实是有早冇遲，很多時是等學校開門。

至於新校車公司，因未知家長乘搭意願所以相信附件的資料只是參照現時校車的路線及收費。他們並沒有確切地說出校車的座位及設施，想也是因為不知道人數吧。

太多未知（站头、收費及車型) 了，連參加了簡介會的也得不到資料。其实路線試行為什么不是在提交意向表之前進行呢？

不過乘搭校車或保母車應可以隨時更改的吧。只是到時站头的設定會因為校車公司的安排而不能增加，對某些家表可能不便。之前不是有媽咪說上車地點不好的嗎？現在正好跟校車要求一個合理而方便的上、落點了。去年我也是如此要求校車駛到我樓下而不是在數座距離的地點，以前提過但司機說不可以改，去年可能因為在投標及觀察中，所以司機想了半天便答應我的要求。如此我們便不用在街吹風或等到出汗而可以在大堂見到校車駛至才出去等。

Picnic on this Sat, kids should ware winter sports uniform.

see u all soon.

Amywonglo,
"佢話他們其实是有早冇遲，很多時是等學校開門。" My girl also says so. I asked the school bus EE before, she said it's because they've to pick up the primary students then pick up the kinder right away.

If the new school bus do the same, may be the time for pick will not be much difference.

AmyWonglo

剛接囡囡放学順便問了公爵街上、下車問題。答覆是：

1. 現時其实也有其他保母車接送St. Rose 的學生。
2. 公爵街屬公眾地方，泊車是先到先得。
3. ９月起他們其实已經是保母車啦。(因校方已終止合約。)

至於部份司機粗言穢語,我聽過一個理大學生在巴士上與朋友講电話一樣全程粗口，聽到我耳都側埋。點知到茶餐廳再碰到他，又是邊吃邊說粗口。真受罪！大學生也如此，對一般職業司機我們又可以要求幾高呢？如果司機在接送學生的車上講粗口，則家長絕對應投訴。如果是在他們於公爵們等放學時，司機們在傾偈中夾雜了粗口，我們也管不了。難道校方及新校車公司可以保證不会有此情況嗎？
