We want to make the trip to school a positive start to the day for pupils and parents and to reduce time lost in traffic jams. This service will give more options to families to arrive and depart from the school with a reduction in the need for a driver or separate car for this purpose.
BatOnRoute is an application specialised in school transportation management, that provides additional security and useful real-time information on the school route, both for the school and for parents. The application is available on App Store and Play Store.
If you have any questions regarding the project please contact Transport Manager.
FAQs:
Which company transports the children?
Transportation is provided by the School using its own fleet of Toyota Hiace minibuses and Electrobus Maxus EV90 buses. Each bus is staffed with a professional driver and a school bus attendant, both employed directly by the School, ensuring a safe and caring environment.
What are the duties of a school bus attendant?
The school bus attendant oversees bus pick-up and drop-off, ensures pupils are properly seated and wearing seat belts, provides updates via the BatOnRoute mobile app, including passenger check-ins, delay/incident notifications and communication with parents when needed.
What vehicles are used to transport children?
Children are transported in comfortable Toyota Hiace minibuses and Electrobus Maxus EV90 vehicles, each with a capacity of up to 11 passengers. All vehicles are equipped with three-point seat belts, booster seats, automatic doors and standard safety and warning signs.
What happens if the school bus gets stuck in traffic?
If delayed, the school bus attendant will notify parents of passengers who have not yet boarded the bus.
What happens if the school bus breaks down or is involved in an accident?
In the event of a breakdown or accident, the school bus attendant will immediately notify the Haileybury Almaty transport manager. The School will take all necessary measures to provide a replacement vehicle and ensure a safe transfer for passengers.
Can my child independently board the school bus or walk home from the drop-off point?
Senior School students may do so with written consent from a parent/legal guardian.
Junior School students must always be accompanied to and from the pick-up/drop-off point by a parent/legal guardian.
If no parent/legal guardian is present at drop-off, the pupil will remain on the bus and continue along the route. The school bus attendant will attempt to contact the family. If contact cannot be established, the student will be taken back to the School, where they can be collected by a parent/legal guardian.
