Getting a child to school in Singapore often comes down to a private bus operator, and many schools appoint one operator for a fixed term rather than letting parents choose. That makes this list a guide to who is out there and what each company says about its school service, not a league table. We read each operator's own website, and checked recent school documents where a site was thin. Start with the operator your school has named, then use the entries below to understand how the others work, compare features such as parent apps, and decide which questions to ask before you register.

1. ComfortDelGro Bus

ComfortDelGro Bus is the bus-charter arm of the ComfortDelGro group, and its own site has a school transport page naming Canadian International School and the International French School as the schools it serves, each with a registration form to download. The page says the buses are air-conditioned and fitted with seat belts, a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit, and it describes a parent app called Smart School Bus Pro that shows live bus location and a child's status, such as boarded or alighted. A dashboard for school transport offices is also described. Outside school runs, it lists corporate and event transport. Families should confirm that their own school is one of the schools it currently serves.

2. Woodlands Transport Service

Woodlands Transport Service describes bus transport as its core business, and its own site lists school transport and bus charter among its services, alongside corporate transport and a shuttle partnership with Changi Airport Group. The company also runs construction transport and other group businesses, so schools are one client type among many. Published school pages from several international schools name it as their bus provider, and their parent registration windows for the 2026-2027 year are set by the schools themselves. For enquiries, the company's site publishes a general contact route and an online booking portal for charters. Check with your school whether bus registration goes through the school or directly with the operator.

3. RS Transport Services

RS Transport Services says it was founded in 2003 and offers three service lines on its site: ad-hoc charter, staff transport and student transport. The student transport page is aimed at schools, kindergartens and childcare centres, and the company describes itself as trusted by many MOE schools. School websites that name it as their bus operator include SJI Junior and Saint Andrew's Junior School, where it runs the daily school bus and, according to those pages, buses for after-school activities. The site has a For Parents section and an Enquire Now form, and it also publishes office phone numbers. Its pages do not list a feature set such as tracking, so ask the operator directly.

4. NewGen Transport Services

NewGen Transport Services says it was established in 2018 and lists school bus transport as one of its core services on its own site. The homepage describes a vehicle range from 13-seater combis up to 49-seater buses and says it serves schools, companies and event organisers across Singapore. A school page on Fu Hua Primary's website states that NewGen has been appointed to run its daily school bus service for January 2026 to December 2027, which is useful independent evidence that it is currently running school routes. The site offers an Enquire Now form plus a general email and phone line. It does not detail tracking apps or attendants, so parents should ask what is on board.

5. Tong Tar Transport Service

Tong Tar Transport Service lists school bus service among its offerings, next to chartered and public bus services, and its site has two routes for families: a School Bus Service Enquiry form for schools, asking for student numbers, arrival and dismissal times and service days, and a Register Your Child page for existing routes. School documents for 2026, including those from Catholic High School and Canossa Catholic Primary School, name Tong Tar as the school bus operator for the 2026 calendar year. The company publishes a general contact form, email and office phone line. Its pages do not name specific routes or features, so confirm details with your school's transport page first.

6. Yellow Bus Services

Yellow Bus Services lists school bus transport as its first service line, ahead of corporate transport and ad-hoc trips. Its own site includes a testimonial from Canadian International School about the service, and says the company works with both international and local schools. Palm View Primary School's parent page names Yellow Bus Services as its operator, with a fare schedule covering January 2025 to December 2026, which gives independent evidence of current school routes. The site publishes a sales email and an office phone number, with weekday office hours. It describes its fleet and crew in general terms and does not list a parent app, so ask what tracking or notifications are offered.

7. KAYE Transport Service

KAYE Transport Service lists shuttle services, school bus, daily staff transport and ad-hoc charter on its own site, and describes its school service as built around driver training to meet the standards that schools and parents expect. Australian International School and XCL World Academy both name KAYE as their bus provider on their websites, and the Australian school's 2026 FAQ describes a KAYE parent app with tracking and attendance features, which is the school's wording rather than KAYE's own. The company's site publishes a phone line and general email address. Since arrangements vary from school to school, ask your school or KAYE directly what the bus carries, including booster seats and attendants.

How to choose

Start with your school's own transport page. Many schools, including many MOE primary schools, publish the operator it has appointed for a set period, so your realistic choice may already be made. Use this list to understand how that operator works and what to ask, rather than to switch between competitors.
Ask whether the bus has a parent app or other way to see where it is, and what it shows. Some operators describe live tracking and boarding status, others say little about technology. Ask for what is actually in use on your child's route today, not just what the website describes.
Ask who is on board besides the driver. Some operators and schools describe bus attendants, booster seats or child safeguarding training, but wording varies. Ask the operator or school to confirm in writing what applies to your child's age and route, rather than relying on brochure language.
Check registration deadlines and the process early. International schools often open a registration window ahead of the new year and may handle it through the school, while local schools may direct you to the operator. Missing the window can mean waiting for a seat to free up.
Ask what happens when things go wrong: breakdowns, driver absence, route changes or a late pickup. A good answer names a contact person, an operating-hours phone line and a replacement process. Also confirm how and when the operator communicates changes, whether by app, email or messaging.
