This from the
Nation's Press: Recent regulations of school buses in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, are sending the cost of school bus service "through the roof," the Gulf News
reported. Schools are worried about the cost of the safety regulations and one has reportedly cut a number of buses to stay in budget. The principal told the paper:
"We are really worried about the fee increase because ours has always been an affordable school. But the overhaul and maintenance of school buses as per the RTA regulations are going to be too expensive for the school to afford."
Parents are worried, too. They said they don't like the idea of having to pick up the added cost of the safety regulation.
"I have three children going to school from next year and that means, I have to cough up around Dh10,000 [approx: $2,722.2 USD] alone as school transportation charges."

We want this to be an open forum for the hundreds of thousands of people that help get students to school safely every day. We want to hear what you think, what's going on at your facility and what solutions you've found. But, please, keep it civil. Just like on the bus, we'll have no tolerance for attacks or anything defamatory. We won't write you up, but we'll delete the comments right away. So don't bother. But if you have something to share, this is your place.
Thanks,
