Private School Bus Service Singapore — Daily Student Transport and Charter — Jumppy Transport

What’s different about our school bus service

  • LTA-licensed Private Hire Bus partnersWe charter via LTA-licensed Private Hire Bus operators with the right driver vocational licences for student transport. Forward-facing seats, retractable three-point seatbelts, regular safety inspection — non-negotiable when minors are on board.
  • Tier flexibility from 13 to 45 seatsSmall enrichment cohorts ride a 13-seater Hiace; full primary classes go on an 18 or 20-seater minibus; secondary and international-school year-levels go on a 24-seater coach. Whole-year-level outings scale to 40 or 45-seater. You don’t pay for unused seats.
  • Standing daily loops or short-term contractsBook recurring AM and PM runs by the week, month or term. Same driver on the route where possible; clear handover if a substitute is needed.
  • Cross-border student transport handledJB-resident families commuting to Singapore private and international schools — Causeway or Second Link clearance handled, tolls included in the flat fare.

Common school bus bookings we cover

  • International or private-school AM-PM shuttle — fixed daily loop picking up at neighbourhood meeting points and dropping at the school gate, mirrored on the PM run home.
  • Enrichment centre and tuition group transport — afternoon pickups from multiple primary schools, drop at the centre, evening run home. Common in the Bukit Timah, Bishan and East Coast belt.
  • Sports academy and CCA training transport — weekly recurring run to the training venue (stadium, swim complex, field, dance studio) and return after session.
  • Kindergarten and pre-school day-trip charter — a single 13-seater Hiace for a small class to the Zoo, Bird Paradise or River Wonders. For one-off educational trips and CCA outings, see our school excursion bus page — that’s the sibling service for one-off rather than recurring transport.
  • Cross-border student commute (JB ↔ Singapore) — JB-based international-school families. Causeway clearance handled, tolls included in the flat fare.
  • Vernacular and weekend-class shuttle — Saturday or Sunday class transport from neighbourhood meeting points to madrasah, Sunday school or Chinese-language schools.

How it works

  1. 1 WhatsApp us the route Pickup points, school address, AM and PM times, student count, start date and contract length (one-off, weekly, monthly or full term). A short message is enough — we’ll work the detail with you.
  2. 2 We quote a flat per-trip or per-month rate Locked-in price covers the vehicle, driver, fuel and — for cross-border legs — Causeway tolls and clearance. We charter the whole vehicle on a single contract; no per-student card-tap billing.
  3. 3 Confirmed driver runs the route Same driver on the route where possible, with a back-up driver pool for sick days. Standing routes get a route briefing on day one with the parent or school coordinator before the first AM run.

Sample fares

Daily school-bus pricing depends on route length, student count, vehicle size and contract length. We don’t publish a per-student card-tap rate because we don’t bill that way — we charter the whole vehicle on a fixed contract, so the price holds whether the bus runs at twelve students or sixteen.

For reference, our published from-fares start at SGD 210 one-way on a 13-seater Hiace and from SGD 260 on an 18-seater minibus — the full table sits on our pricing page under Group Vans, 18-Seater Minibus and Group Coaches. Monthly and term contracts are quoted on the route after we see the pickup map and times.

For one-off educational trips, day excursions and cross-border Legoland charters, the school excursion bus page is the right starting point — that’s quoted per trip rather than per month.

FAQ

What’s the difference between Jumppy and an SSTA school-bus operator?

SSTA-registered operators bid for MOE-school long-term contracts through the School Bus Advertisements site and run the yellow or orange daily school buses you see at government schools. We’re a Private Hire Bus charter service for private schools, international schools, enrichment centres, kindergartens, sports academies and short-term student transport — flexible terms from a single day to a full term, no annual lock-in. If you’re a parent at an MOE school, your school’s appointed bus operator is usually the right starting point; if you’re outside that programme, we are.

Are your vehicles LTA-compliant for student transport?

Yes. We charter via LTA-licensed Private Hire Bus operators, with drivers holding the relevant Bus Driver’s or Omni-Bus Driver’s Vocational Licence. Vehicles serving students carry forward-facing seats with retractable three-point seatbelts, or run with a bus attendant on board where the school prefers that arrangement. Regular safety inspection is part of the operator’s licence terms.

How much does a private school bus service cost in Singapore?

It depends on route, vehicle size and contract length, so we quote on the route rather than publishing a per-child monthly figure. For context, established international schools that run their own programme charge roughly S$360–440 per child per month for a two-way bus zone — a twelve-child parent group at that rate already sits in the same range as chartering a dedicated 13-seater with us, with the upside of route control and vehicle exclusivity. WhatsApp us the pickup map and we’ll quote within the hour. Our published from-fares for the underlying vehicles are on the pricing page.

Can you handle cross-border school transport (JB to Singapore)?

Yes. We run JB-resident students to Singapore private and international schools daily. Causeway or Second Link clearance is handled by the driver, tolls are included in the flat fare, and the pickup window is built around peak immigration timing so the school arrival holds. For the wider cross-border bus context, see our cross-border bus Singapore to JB page.

Do you provide a bus attendant?

On request, at additional cost. Some schools and parent groups prefer a paid attendant on every run, especially with younger children; others use the seatbelted-seat configuration without an attendant. We coordinate the attendant arrangement with our partner operators at booking time and reflect it in the quote.

Can we book a one-off school trip instead of a daily contract?

Yes — that’s our school excursion bus page. One-off educational trips, CCA outings, inter-school competitions and cross-border Legoland day-trips are quoted per trip. This page is for recurring AM-PM shuttles, term contracts and standing routes; the excursion page is for one-off jobs.

What’s the minimum contract length?

One day. We accept anything from a single charter run to a full term. Standing weekly or monthly contracts get a slightly better per-trip rate because the driver and route become familiar — fewer minutes lost to pickup-point hunting and parent introductions after week one.
