This facility is subject to the availability of seat in the bus opted for. Buses will ply through their regular routes and this will not be changed to individual needs. The school bus facility cannot be demanded as a matter of right. The Transport Department reserves the right to disallow any student from availing the bus facility for any justifiable reasons at their own discretion.
