School transport

I'm sure the school will have their own bus service for students. But for you, I recommend using Speedy Motors (+973 17682999) and during peak hours, use Bahrain Taxi (+973 36688614) as it's nearly impossible to get a taxi with Speedy during commute hours.

Thanks so much, I'm not sure on a school bus but I have not read on st christophers website of one.

I'm just trying to work out in advance of moving my best options of travel ( as im guessing it will take a few weeks to sort me a car out or to gain confidence to drive in a different county) I may only move a week before my little girl starts nursery .

Most school's have school buses but they are not directly employed by the school so you just find one that is in your area and see if you can join it.  Unfortunately, most of them, in my opinion are downright dangerous.  BSB is now employing its own bus drivers and escorts and has bought new buses with seatbelts, fire extinguishers etc. Let's hope that other schools follow suit.

Your other options are to rent a car and drive her yourself - I found it was better just to get on with it - the more I thought about it the more stressed I became.  Or find a "private" driver.  As Brightonguy says most taxi's are totally full during school run/commute times.

Good luck.
