Schools Begumpet, Hyderabad Chanakya Olympiad School

Is there a school bus from the Begumpet side to Chanakya Olympiad School in Shaikpet?

We've started a list for class 1 next June, and Chanakya Olympiad School has come up twice this month, once from a neighbour and once at a birthday party. Before I get attached to anything else, the practical bit. My first work call with the team abroad is at 7 and his grandparents can only do some mornings. So whether there's a bus from Begumpet, and roughly what time it would come, matters more to me right now than anything on the website. Anyone whose child takes it, or who looked into it? Happy to hear what the drive is like at 8 too, if you do drop-offs yourself.

I don't know this school, but when we were sorting out my sister's transport a few years ago, the route list was only fixed after reopening in June, and pickup times kept moving for the first two weeks. If you ask now, ask whether the Begumpet stops are on an existing route or would depend on enough families signing up. The second answer usually means no bus until they have the numbers.

  Had the same with my daughter's school, years back. They said yes, there's a route. The route existed. From the other side of the flyover. Ask for the actual stop, not the area

If the bus doesn't work out, it may help to do the drive once at the real time before deciding. For us the stretch that decides everything is the last two kilometres near the school, not the main road. For a five year old I would also ask whether class 1 leaves at the same time as the senior classes. That changes the afternoon plan with grandparents quite a lot.

the question i'd add: what time would the bus pick him up. a 7 am stop for a school that starts at 8.30 is a long ride for a small boy, and the first stops on any route are always the farthest ones.
