from home to school: 90 mins
from school to home: 25 mins
After trial for a few days, we decided to take the return trip via school bus only. We'll send the kid to school by ourselves.
The 90 mins journey is toooo long (note if we drive it only takes 10 mins). Time wasted and we worried that the kid will be too tired already and impact his learnings at school.
The drawback is we still need to pay full fare.. no discount for single ride.. but we will go this way first as the return trip is fast and overall he can arrive home earlier than if we pick him up ourselves.
