got people here saying about 500-650

anyways, i recalled last time I had discussion with some bankers relationship managers, they were telling me how much they were paying for their kids school bus

Nowadays buses work in group and most students have minimum insured

Why note you just try to call one of the school van and pretend you are customer then ask the pricing. Call around a few and give different distance to school (just to gauge what is the price package, if got charge according to distance or other factors)

I plan to do that.

There is one van that stop by my condo

i just need to take a day off to ask.

take 2 batches every time :X

10 only? I think can sumbat 20

aunty charge around RM300 for 15KM route.

Do business where can expect to straight away untung kaw kaw one?

how to sumbat 20

of course start that time

you may have 20% to half capacity

those are probably long distance or T20 ones.. like private school etc

10KM distance around 400 monthly
first person/group 5.30 AM, skoll starts at 8
i tink each session morning got 2 group
if bus probly cheaper abit but probly earlier.

every morning I drive to office I saw the school van very crowded, those Hiace, Urvan can fit 4 bench, front seat beside driver can sit 2, those on the bench can squeeze 4-5 per row :X cos primary students are small in size, some standing in the van, like no body business

4 per bench can fit meh

i better take leave in morning to see

School van driver at 60, No
School van operator at 60, Yes

I believe you only have two choices since you despise 60:

1) Die before 60yo because you hate this age so much that you don't want to become 60

2) Live to 60yo, but cry fa ma every day see wrinkles on your face and start rotting

I do know a lot of healthy 60yo with no high blood pressure

whereas there are some 37yo who have diabetics and high blood pressure

apart from having 2 batches of students per session, some drivers also do goods delivery in mid morning and mid afternoon for extra income.

Don’t get me wrong, I never despise nor hate 60yo I am nearing 60 in one palm count.

For your case, 10y from now I believe you can plan towards mentoring pathway for what you do now (your expertise/ specialisation)

TS wanna start become transporter ker ?

Yah, register with the school and sometimes get referral from parents.
Just 1 batch of students and it's 650 per student per month. Covers both ways.
Like I said, it has to be far enough away to get a good price so I don't really have enough time to do another run.
Planning to be a transporter? Better think about your target demographic because it will determine what vehicle is suitable.
You'll also need to research the transporters in your target area. No point going in if many old transporters there.
Wanna make good money I recommend start asking around international schools.

Ok come I share U. My gf work for a tuition centre and she engaged with school van drivers. Surprisingly if U don't know, the charge I heard for a trip to school and a trip back to the centre is only RM180/month. BUT there is still parents are complaining RM180 is high.

Anyways, these driver got high volume. 1 day I think more than 7-8 trips and I know earning is 5 figures (not all drivers earn that much. But I know the top 1-2 drivers actually have that. But need to drive morning till evening lo)

Were you able to make 2 deliveries in one morning?

Let say one load = 10 students
2 load = 20 students = 13,000

Also how do you get yourself registered with an international school? You go to their admin office and ask? then would the school refer for you?

the thing I am afraid is, some markets are saturated, then if one buys a van, suddenly only able to get 5 students (less full capacity). Rugi wor.

Next thing, is obtain an urvan, which model is best? Go and buy one? buy second hand? How much does a 10 seater van costs? brand new = 140,000 ?
