sorry bit late to answer, just came from vacation...

some companies subsidized their employee with bus to help their school age children transport to/from school. Like my company providing our children a bus for free. The bus is also hired from the same company from which employee pick up bus hired. but I think not all company have this service. So gud luck, hope things will go well.

thax for your feedback..

Unfortunately..the school does not have buses!!

Well..it may be possible that we drop him in the morning...but our working hours won't allow us to pick him in the afternoon..

Sandwolf...what do you mean by company provided bus?

School bus or company provided bus drivers can be assumed a pro, they don't wanna loose their job at least. Your complains can be quickly addressed to school/company and supposed to be handled seriously. If u r a good & skillful driver and have enough time, u can drive ur self, otherwise better not to

go for school bus 1st, it might be a bit more expensive but will make u feel not too worry. The school will be fully responsible to take your baby up to your own door. private driver will always give u some problem sometime. never trust them, I have an experience (bad one), that might happen to u too. company provided bus might also ok if available

Does the school have a bus? Maybe that would be an option...

Or pool with some parents of other children who live nearby...

Or maybe a private driver whom you know is driving other kids from that school...
