hey, dear parents,
i have a question... after i signed up for the school bus service....
i have noticed that there is a extra bus route at 4:45pm everyday...
i suppose that is for the pupils after  ...

Flos,

In your case, would it be possible NOT to take regular schoolbus at all ?
Just weigh the $$ first.

flostangraphy

that's actually what i'm thinking....
because the single trip is only 80% the round trip... so not much saving.
as the school start early, i may able to bring our son to school in the morning. (just have to make myself awake 1/2 hour earlier..... )
and he stays at school until 4:45pm for the extra bus to back home everyday. since he is very into all kind of sports and interest group of ECA. most likely he will take the extra school bus 3 to 4 time per week.... which make the return school bus somehow unnecessary..... (to be honest... the extra school bus will be actually even a bit cheaper than the 50% normal school bus after calculation.... ).
anyway.... every i check the total of my whole family spend on the transportation per month..... i die.....

I am paying $942 per month this year, my calculation is:
$942 x 8 months + $471 x2 months short
=$8478 per year.

In next term, the new school bus offers $750 per month(more or less the same), that is
$750 x10 months
=$7500 per year.

I can save around $1000 per year x 2 kids = HK$2000 ha ha...

Hi Flostangraphy,

Thx for your info.  My girl took school bus to Tai Woo Hou from Tsing Yi and it cost 420 per month.  So I think 650 is not expensive at all.

I saw school circular that there was only 1 day for P.1-2 ECA, not so sure if you can enroll your boy to so many ECA.

he he he, my calculation is:
base on average 22 school days / month, makes it 650/22 around 30hk/day and 15hkd per trip.
so if our son can stay one more hour in school library to finish the home work when he doesn't have ECA. we will then economic 130+(3x22)=186hkd/month. if our 2nd son lucky enough (we, parents lucky enough) to get an offer from tsl as well!!! times 2 in the future then!!!
also with my wife, we are planning take turn to bring him to school in the morning as tsl is on our way to office ( on our line of mtr actually.. still need to walk from olympic to tsl.) (yup.... parents with 3 kids... we need to count every penny... he he he! )
so connie mum, if you need arrangement in the future to bring her to school from tsing yi. feel free let us know.

flostangraphy

you are right, there is only wed afternoon ECA is obligatory (finish at 15:30). however, seems there are ECA everyday after school (15:30 to 16:30 in option).
i maybe mis-understood.... anyone correct me if i'm wrong!

Tingmum,

I think it was 7m "long months", 3m "shotr months" for ex-schoolbus company ?

In our case it was $580 / $290.
Calc = $580x7 + $290x3 = $4930.

For "new" schoolbus company, I saw a nearby route saying ~$475/m, not sure if we are on that route.
So round about the same.

FYI, Extra school buses don't operate during some weeks, e.g. 1st school week, exam weeks +/- 1 week, etc.  You need to arrange your own transportation for you kid(s) to go home duing those times!

Your ideal case is under the assumptions that
1.  the school allow P.1 student study at Library on his own
2.  Camill does not need a nap after full school day
3.  Camill will work on his homework in the library
4.  Camill not gets distracted and will be on time for the extra school bus services.  

It seems you need to get Camill prepared for many things before school year begin

flostangraphy

he he he!!! the ideal case is camill able to take care everything by himself, go to school and back home alone by MTR and bus, no need to follow his school and homework by us..... and even better if he can pass by the supermarket and buy the dinner for the family when return my ideal!!!

1/ called tsl last day and the Library and study room open with teacher on duty.
2/ no nap since K2, however our children go to bed around 20:30 to 21:00.   
3/ his kindergarten push the children make a working plan. i find this is a good idea! they have a daily writing down all the homework they plan to finish. most of time, i just correct the work he has done so far. other than some works he doesn't know how to do, he will wait for me or my wife, otherwise he doesn't really need us to sit beside him to do his homework (by now..... primary school will be another story..... ).
4/ and under my own assumption.... is, we start with school bus and see how it goes after, it seems that it is just a budget that we need to consider as a part of primary education fee... that's all....

flostangraphy,
 
Let’s make your dream come true by turning the Utopia into reality!!  
 
When you start to train your son up from today, everything is possible!! 
 
We don’t worry whether he can use public transport to and back from school and buy your dinner at supermarket by himself.
 
However, we are more concerned about whether he will be chased up by female classmates at school everyday so he cannot focus on finishing his school work in time!!
