Does the Ganges Valley School bus come out to Madinaguda, and how long are the little ones on it?

Our elder son is seven, and the drive to his current school takes up most of our morning. Ganges Valley in Nizampet is one of the schools we're considering for June, partly because it's closer to us. For parents who use the school transport in the primary classes: does a bus come out to the Madinaguda side, and roughly how long are the younger children on it each way? Is there an attendant for the small ones? I'd rather hear what you've seen than what the transport desk says.

    No children there, so nothing first-hand about this school. When we were looking for my son a couple of years ago, the most useful thing was asking for the actual route list with stop times, not 'we cover your area'. You can see where your stop falls on it.

    Ask whether your stop would be near the start or the end of the route. The first child picked up on a long route can spend close to an hour on the bus. And ask whether routes get redrawn when new children join mid-year. The second answer tells you more than the first.

      That's a useful distinction. I have been asking whether there is a bus, not where we would fall on the route. I'll ask for the route list itself when we visit.

    We live in Nizampet. There is a lot of school traffic on our road around closing time, so if you will be doing pickups from Madinaguda, try the drive at that hour once. My grandson goes to a different school, so I can't say about the buses.
