SEVERAL school bus operators will be increasing their fees by 10 per cent to 20 per cent when the new school term starts in January.
Parents will pay between $4.50 and $20 more a month. Current monthly rates range from $45 to $100, depending on the distance to the schools.
Operators said they were raising fares to offset losses from having fewer students on board once they install seat belts.
A new rule to improve bus safety was implemented in April, requiring new small buses to have seat belts, while existing small school buses must do so by 2011.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said that out of the 1,200 small buses that ferry children, seat belts have been fitted in 955 vehicles.
These buses, which could carry about 15 students before, can take only 10 students with the seat belts fitted.
thks to e seat belt
In e first place, if they impose mechanical speed limiter for e school buses it would be better
You want safety for the children but are unwilling to pay for it ?

I think it would unfair to the bus operators themselves though. I don't think they could depend on just ferrying school children for their daily livehood, putting mechanical speed limiters would make it difficult for them to pursue other sidelines while waiting for school to be over.

in the first place they alrdy have a speed limit of either 60kph or 70kph, installing the limiter is to ensure compliance.
heavy vehicles like SBS buses are alrdy required to have it installed
