K-2 children are conveyed free by passenger bus, irrespective of the distance from school to home, subject to certain conditions.
Conveyance by private car less than 1.6 km does not qualify for free travel.
Children who are conveyed by private vehicle in excess of 1.6 km can also claim a subsidy
under certain conditions. This applies to parents who convey children from home to the bus stop or from home to school provided there is no means of bus transport available.
If there is room on charter buses, children who live less than 1.6 km may travel in the bus but they will be expected to pay a fee.
