The School runs the latest Euro IV compliant air-conditioned buses equipped with CCTV, First Aid Box & Fire Extinguisher. All School Buses are electronically connected to the Control Room through GPS Tracking System. The parents are informed about the bus reaching the drop point (under normal traffic conditions) say 10 minutes beforehand by sending an auto-generated SMS. A Lady attendant accompanies the students of the Junior Classes.

Inspite of the best efforts, due to unavoidable circumstances, transport routes may change without prior intimation or explanation. Also, transport routes applicable in the Junior Classes may not be applicable in the Senior Classes.
