I have a question, how do you get your passengers?

1) Does the school admin assist to connect you to students? You have to register with the school to be driver.

2) Facebook helps?

3) word of mouth?

4) charge how much per month in Klang valley?

5) Do you charge by KM radius ?

6) Put telephone number on your van

Ts... You got PIP now finding a backup gig?

search bus driver and chit chat with him/her

Usually via daycare / kindergarten or school

word of mouth if you are really good

no lah

school bus drivers not gonna reveal their secrets.

unless I pose as customer

They won't answer it, all they can say, i just work only all arranged by my boss, business secret nobody gonna tell

who don't answer? you mean the school admin?

Van bus operators 🐝🚍😌🔥

of course they don't layan la

but I am wondering how to access to school admin, to register oneself as school bus operator

You can go to the school office and enquire bout this matter, just ask who is incharge for this matter, they will guide you

sure or not?

school office won't tell to GTFO ?

Give it a try, it's not a bad things anyway, nothing wrong to ask around right 😉🐝

yeah can try.

have you tried b4?

No but a friend of mine doing this business also, that's what he did at few schools around my area, so the school knew which company usually send and fetch the students

I referred to AI, some schools request for tender, usually are big school operators.

I suppose can try

but dunno if some will not layan because only layan the big operators.

who knows maybe got wang kopi

How to operate school bus you should check with Jpj not school.

But if you refer to transporter, if you ever go fetch kids from school, you should notice. Som school. Like my kids srjkc, they tampal who, what contact, what area served for transporter. For bigger transport like van or daycare transports instead of cars, they even gazetted what area to wait specifically for that daycare.

Not sure how they vet but likely just help pass info only or connect supply and demand only.

For private schools maybe, ordinary sekolah kebangsaan should be okey

I saw one van, he tampal his phone number very very big

I checked Deep Seek advised to go around and distribute flyers.

Yes, at the van advertised your phone number, flyers also can, plus active in your area community group ( fb or whatsapp group ) post your service there's 🐝

i just recce three schools in a precint

got like one operator with cheap vans no air cond, I counted at least 5.

Go from one school to another.

Damn, this fella is smart.

Exactly, you need to be smart to grab the business, even at my place also some of the van no aircond, they work like a donkey pick and send kids, imagine if they got 4 vans work at the same time plus doing 4 trips per day, per month wonder how much they earn 😱🐝🐝😱

Normally all the parents ady hv their own known van operator to fetch their kids and won't switch halfway

go for new year

they just kuli working for school operator boss

Wow... you really want this stress job? Hidup mati boleh tapi tak boleh sakit... sakit still need to work. I fetch my son myself... so I know the pain.

Yes, the boss got multiple business to managed

Will need to promote from primary 1 class I guess

True, or else the parents will stick with the one they already have, they wont change as everything seems fine 🐝

yea，tat exactly wat gonna happen

New year, target standard one students, once they use your service their parents will stick to you service, even until their kids going to secondary school 🐝😍😘📢🐝

actually for me fetching my children to school is the most fun experience.

of course, every job/business got challenges lor.

jobs/business is to solve problems. If no issue then what for have jobs/business unless dedak business?

Look at the bright side, after fetching kids in morning, can sleep/rest until back to noon to go to school and take them back home.

And then depends on you whether you want more money and expand to evening school.

Even then, you can still sleep/rest in afternoon.

Its not an 8 hour work/day.

after dropping off kids, you can morning have breakfast at kopitiam look at phone or go to gym run run or attend exercise - pilate or yoga then shower, then go to starbuk to drink coffee read book, then noon pick up the kids lor.

yeah..

who knows?

can even promote tution business one to one.

pitch to parents...

primary school is piece of cake...

I asked one friend why he send to tution center for his standard 2 kid. He said because kid don't listen to him.

Yes, exactly
Well you can even do send and pick up kids to the tuiton centre too 🙂🐝

yeah not really thinking that far.

thinking of doing basics first

Fetch them to your house and do tuition, prepare lunch with fee, then after tuition send them back home at evening

Okey, one by one and see how it goes 😉🐝

tution biz needs rapport

build up from scratch

rather do at one to one travel to house tution

don't do classroom, too ambitious, I seen a lot of people try but failed.

One to one feel like dun earn much leh but dunno la, maybe slowly is safer

as you said slowly is safer, so one to one is the best

because you build up rapport from there

if you straight away start classroom, if you rented shop house, you gonna potentially lose a lot of capital if it doesn't work out.

I personally know one guy who has been doing one-to-one tution for 10 years.

Just saw/realized your reply.
Think you should also think the other way round.

Like one forummer said. Be active in your community. Like I saw, in out community Facebook, on and off you’ll see parents asked if got transporter to recommend. From what school to where. But those likely is from day care back at home. (After go daycare from school) since it’s niche in terms of destination and pickup place. I even saw as late in the year as yesterday.

Another way round is, go check daycare instead of school. Ask if there is a need to fetch their student from the school to their center. Likely they have agreement with some but might not be enough, demand surge or expansion. They might need it for a new branch.

Also I saw a lot of private transporter (imagine housewife fetching kids with a car) they joined school volunteer parents. Morning volunteer to help kids out or their car outside school. Maybe it’s a circle of promo / contribute back to school.

Whatever ensure the car is insured enough

Or very small group like 2 person

Actually one to one would be the best, more personalised 🐝

yup

A friend of mine doing part time one to one tuiton, he said much better and less stressful 🐝💯❤️

depends...

I got one friend, he still single in 50s....

he starts work at 4pm onwards until 10pm.

then at night, he has to do research and prepare for lessons next day until 3am.

He sleeps until 12 noon, wake up gets his lunch, rinse and repeat.

then in weekends at night, he go play futsal.

Must be tiring, wonder how many students he got, one to one tuition? 😅🐝

well...of course its tiring

but he is single, in his mid 50s

he's being doing this for decades

the disadvantage is that he doesn't get his EPF employer contribution

he once told me he had a traumatic experience at his employer, he doesn't want to go back to work anymore

this is why it is useful when one has extra capabilities, such as ability to give tution, eg piano lessons as a hedge against unemployment

Lots of freelancer nowdays, tired tight to organisation etc 9 to 5 work, no life 😩🐝❤️

not easy bro

look at my friend punya schedule

no life...

if you don't have family can do lah

Nowdays life is hard man, everybody need to work with no life at all.. Sometimes hardly spend time with family, balik kerja sure penat 😩😴🐝❤️
