I am the father of two children going to the Cambrige School.

Sadly to say my children have started to come home in unpleasant conditions sweating & fatigued due to the air-conditioning system on the bus not being up to standards.
I have observed the bus when it dropped my children with all its windows open, meaning the A/C was just not cool and you could imagine what condition all the children were on that bus, having the children coming home in that condition increases the chances of them getting sick and missing out on classes which is not beneficial. The other side of having the windows on the bus open is that it jeopardizes their safety, just one sharp turn or push and the children would fall out of the windows.
Reminders were received from the school advising the parents to pay the bus fees on time so that the children would be issued with a pass, otherwise the consequences would be that the child would not be allowed on the bus it also state that it was for the children’s safety.
Well, the bus pass only seem to be to the benefit of the school to see who has paid the bus fees, not for the safety of my children. We were asked to send Photo’s for the bus pass which have not been placed on the card and the most important piece of information which is blood type has not been filled in, now tell me were is the safety in that?
My frustration is we as parents have to go through seeing our children suffering every day on that bus, it also feels that we are on a constant battle to get our points across, I am not asking for much but a safe and comfortable transport service. We need peace of mind while at work knowing that our children are being treated as precious cargo on those buses. The schools bus service is putting the children in an uncomfortable, unhealthy and unsafe situation.
And nothing has changed a year later, who will hear our want. Well for QR 2200 we have hired a great private driver who transport my girls.

This school needs to be looked at all of us should maybe get someone at the Supreme Education Council to come and see what goes on. And the traffic department should make sure that the school buses are suited to transport children.
