A bus operator engaged by Singapore Chinese Girls' School (SCGS) to ferry its students to and from school has enraged parents by quoting a monthly fee of as much as $550. The rate is almost double that of the previous bus contractor.
With less than a week to the start of the new school year, some parents told The Straits Times they are considering other options such as hiring a private car or bus.
