The Shanghai French School offers a bus service shared with the DSS for our students every day of the week, in partnership with a government transport company, Pei Xing Bus Company. The fleet includes 93 vehicles, which run 3500 kms per day and serve the Qingpu and Yangpu campuses.
Everyday, more than 2000 passengers are transported to our two campuses from more than 200 meeting points throughout the city, with an average arrival rate of 99.3% on the morning! Each campus is managed by a Bus Manager, under the supervision of the Services Généraux (General services, email links at the bottom of the page).
On board, a driver and a (Chinese) supervisor take care of the children. All buses are equipped with 3-point seatbelts and booster seats for children attending kindergarten. Their use is mandatory. Transportation is exclusively reserved for paying students. Under no circumstances will parents be allowed to ride on it. Warning: the bus stops for the 5pm buses, for the students of middle and high school, are not necessarily the same as the bus stops for the 3pm buses.
Creation of the bus routes: The school bus routes are created at the beginning of the school year, based on the addresses of registered students. Each of the routes has several meeting points, meant to be practical for the larger number of students.
Qingpu : The school cannot commit to providing a door to door service, nor to ensuring pickup for families living too far outside the existing network. These families need to organise their own transportation, or to join the closest meeting point. Registration: The registration form can be downloaded on the right side of the page.
For each campus, the Bus Manager provides all necessary information to help identify the bus routes and the appropriate meeting points. A transportation committee is composed of parents is formed each year to inform and allow good communication between the families and the school in charge of managing the service.
