Pak school gets 14 new buses

Pakistan International School-Jeddah (PISJ) is in the process of upgrading its transportation facilities, said Fazal Subhan, chairman of the school’s managing committee.
He said an acute shortage of school buses was causing grief to students and their parents.
Speaking at an event where 14 new buses were added to the school’s fleet, Subhan said: “The managing committee is planning to auction off buses that need total overhaul because repairing them is an expensive proposition. However, buses that need minor repairs or have bad air-conditioning will be sent for maintenance.”
New buses, he said, will be used on long-haul routes. Mohammad Afzal Gondal, who is in charge of the committee’s transport section, said with the addition of the new buses, the total number of the school fleet now stands at 64.
School Principal Mohammad Bilal also spoke on the occasion.
