I estimate one urvan van can take up to 10 kids max.

I think for B40, must at least earn 4k max. So maybe they charge RM 500 per student for a month?

So revenue = 5,000
less van loan instalment = 1000
less fuel cost = 1500
Profit = 2500

Damn how to survive? one month only earn 2500 in 2025 ?

Also how does van school driver find their passengers? do they like register with the school then ask school to find students want to use their service?

I saw some school vans put up cell phone number advertise on their van.

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)

180 ???

mind as well not do. You have your own fuel, repair and loan to pay for your van.

morning how to do 2 rounds? I mean, maybe 1st pick up, 615am to 645 am, then do second pick up, 7am to 745am ? macam ini?

very rush wor...need to plan where everyone stays...if reach school late, sure parents complain.

if 180/student, you need at least 40 students to pick up. I estimate 7k is the break even. So need to do 2 pick ups and drop offs for morning school and another 2 pick ups and drop offs for afternoon school.

180 is just too low. I think RM300/student is a fairer price.

They collaborate with tuition centre one. Coz tuition center didn't take any profit. They just free refer. And my gf tuition centre exceeding 500 students.

i think tution center don't pay so well unlike school.

maybe some of these van drivers, do these deliveries in between their schooling schedule.

Damn can't imagine, my butt also pain.

But i notice they use official van logo, like the Mirc van I notice driving near my neighborhood

Ok maybe got some miscommunication here.

The delivery route is not from
House > school
School > house
If according to above route. Then it would be hard because all students have different location.

The route is from
Tuition center > school
School > tuition center

They work like above only

must be chinese school lah

I notice schools like Lick Hung in Subang, no need van, as just next door to school, the kids walk to the shop houses to go for tution.

because chinese schools a lot of homework, so they require these tution centers to teach them.

I no surprise it is half price.

tution centers probably have to cut price as parents complain they have to pay tution fees + transport.

am i right to say?

Yes, my gf centre mostly Chinese independent school students

Just clarified with my gf. This transporter charges RM180 for single trip. From school to tuition centre monthly. Some students charges about 260-300 monthly for 2 days trip. Then, 1 day got 6-7 trips. 1 trip can fix like 15 students max.

My gf cincai count, that transporter got like over 20k alone in the fee(haven't deduct petrol fees)

What they need is volume

actually i thinking do this job after retirement. But do for fun only maybe 5 kids go n bak from school.

speaking from my personal experience picking own kids. if picking up 15 students per trip the responsibilities and pressure is insane. Have to jam 15minutes to reach, and 15minutes to go back. Then sometimes kids blurblur no turn up for dunno what reason, and sometimes got kids MC/EL or LATE. If u accidentally missing one kid u probably end up in balai or worst case kena belasah by the parent.

The transporter u mentioned confirm is Top10 in Malaysia already if he can earn 20k. Not easy to reach that level. Your gf which area if u dont mind telling?

U need to know the route. This transport rich because of the students that the tuition centre provide.

The route it's only from centre > school > centre > school and repeat.

No need to go different house and fetch student one by one from different locations.
