HOW DO YOU FIND THE SCHOOLBUS COMMUTE?

“Despite large roads and better buses, it takes me more than half an hour to cover a distance that could be covered in less than 15 minutes. Moreover my schoolbus comes 15 minutes early at my stop in order to avoid the Sharjah-Dubai traffic.”

“The school commute for me isn’t that long because I get off at the first stop. But I like the fact that my school day starts with my friends on the bus and ends with them, too.”

“I spend about 30 to 40 minutes in the morning and another 30 minutes on my way back home on my school commute every day. These are the two times that I spend the most time with my friends. On my way to school in the morning I usually spend my time reading or revising the previous day’s lessons.”

“When it comes to the school commute, I use my time efficiently. Sometimes I get a head start on my homework, which might take half an hour or so, but I also take the time to learn the day’s topic and organise my notebooks. It varies from day to day. Coming back from school I’m often lethargic and I start slow. On average I actually spend about three to four hours a day prepping before and after school, as well as travelling to and from school.”
