Operations and Routes

Tong Tar operates routes that span the majority of Singapore. While pick-up and drop-off points are subject to variation based on demand, we aim to provide a service that is as close to a “door-to-door” arrangement as is practically possible, in a shared environment.

• Morning Pick-Up: As close to students' homes as feasible
• Afternoon Departures:
  • 15:15 for Junior School students
  • 15:45 for Senior School students

Junior School students requiring the 15:45 service (e.g., due to Co-Curricular Activities or other engagements) may do so upon arrangement with Tong Tar. Please note that additional charges apply, and places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

The 16:55 CCA Service, designated for Senior School students, operates with fixed drop-off points and is available free of charge to students already enrolled in the 15:45 regular door-to-door service. This point-to-point service requires advanced booking and operates only during CCA trial periods and seasons. Drop-off points are determined in advance based on the drop-off addresses of registered students.

Shuttle Bus Service (Senior School Only)

A complimentary shuttle bus service is available exclusively to Senior School students, departing from the school at 15:45 and 16:55 daily. Please note that this service is not supervised by school staff. Drop-off locations for each route are as follows:

• Bus A:

• Bus B:

Further details regarding specific locations and estimated drop-off times are available via the Parent Portal.
