VAN SERVICE MANTHAN SCHOOL

--

Transport Facility

Manthan does not own or operate any transport service. Manthan does not have any future plans to undertake transport operations. Parents must ensure that their child reaches Manthan before 8.35 am using any means of transport. Parents can individually arrange or pool up and arrange transport facility for their wards when the operator is unable to provide the service for some reason. A group of private transport operators have agreed to provide transport facility to Manthan students. Parents are free to choose any mode of transport and any van operator of their choice apart from the routes offered by these operators. Routes are decided in the beginning of the year based on geographical distribution of students availing transport facility. Routes are based on maximum coverage area (600 meters between any two stops), road width, road condition, number of pick points in a route, time taken from the first pick up point to the last pick up point (within 40 minutes) Route I : Adyar - Kasturbai Nagar - Indira Nagar - LB Road - Atrium - Kalakshetra - Kuppam Beach Road - VMV Route II : Besant Nagar - Shastri Nagar - Kalakshetra - Thiruvanmiyur - RM Hospital - ECR - VMV Route III : L B Road - Thiruvanmiyur - Rajaji Nagar - Avvai Nagar - Kannappa Nagar - Hotel Mathus - VMV Route IV : Vijay Nagar - Taramani - SRP Tools - VMV Route V : Thiruvanmiyur - Kannappa Nagar - Swaminathan Nagar - AGS Colony - Sangam Colony - VMV Route VI : Thiruvanmiyur Bus Stand - Bhavani Medai - Valmiki Nagar - Thiruvalluvar Nagar - Journalist Colony - VMV Route VII : Thuraipakkam - Perungudi - VMV Route VIII : Jayendra Colony - Perungudi Lake - Green Acres - Lifeline - SRP Tools - VMV Route IX : OMR - Sholinganallur - Akkarai - Injambakkam - Vettuvankeni - Neelangarai - Palvakkam - VMV Route X & XII : Injambakkam - Vettuvankeni - Kazura Graden - Ranga Reddy Garden - Govindan Nagar - Palavakkam - Palkalai Nagar - VMV Route XI : TM Maistry Street - Valmiki Street - Thiruvanmiyur - Bhavani Medai - VMV

Manthan has requested the van operators to pick up children between 7.45 am and 8.15 am to ensure that the child reaches the school before 8.35 am. The drop trips will start after 12.30 pm and 3.45 pm. The traffic is very heavy from 7.45 am and Manthan has no control over this traffic pattern. Manthan insists on safe driving practices followed by our van operator(s) even though Manthan does not own the vans. In order to ensure proper timings, Manthan requests parents and teachers to adhere to the pickup/drop timings. Children and Teachers must wait at their respective points before the stated time. Vans waiting for an ADDITIONAL ONE minute at each point results in a cumulative delay of 10 to 12 minutes. Drop service depends on traffic pattern and starting time. Manthan tries their best to help children board the vans by 3.55 pm. Vehicle waiting at any point for parents add to enormous delay for the last child. Manthan gets calls from parents enquiring about delay. The driver and assistant cannot lead the child to any particular destination other than designated drop points. Kindly stick to the same pickup and drop points to ensure proper functioning of transport service for your child and for every other child. Routes may have to change based on traffic blocks, road blocks and weather conditions. Manthan requests parents to co-operate during those days by coming to the nearest point. Changing routes for the sake of one child disrupts plans and timings of all others. All routes and timings are valid under normal days with normal traffic patterns. Manthan is ready to help each one of you within our limited resources and capability. The van operator's contact numbers are given below. Please contact and inform him in case of: Any delay in service Not requiring the transport service on a day due to Child on leave or absent for that day - essential to avoid delay due to waiting at respective van stop Drop or pick-up by the parents - Must inform Manthan administration also Mr. Shajahan, Kutty Travels 98412 76086
