A van which is intended to be used as a “transport” vehicle has first to be registered and approved by J.P.J. Suggest you call over at any J.P.J. Office to seek their advice & views. The above will only be ever ready to assist you.

Dear Cikgu Yap/Will Yap,
You have some great comments on operating a school bus. I have some enquiry regarding my China Jin Bei van. I bought it from a friend who operates it as a mobility van for wheelchair bound persons. It has been fitted with a power lift for wheel chair and I bought it because I have 2 OKU children which I need to take them to-and-fro Spastic Center and home in PJ. To reduce my running cost of the van, I would like to ferry wheel chair persons to hospitals, clinic, shopping malls, etc. on part time basis. Do I need to apply or register with JPJ to do this type of business?
Appreciate if you could advise me on how to go about it. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Ong Seng Chee

In Malaysia, buses are normally not used for purpose of camping unlike foreign countries. As such, your intention to purchase a 2nd hand school bus for such a purpose, you should first see the JPJ authorities to seek their advice.

Please advise me, i like to get a 2nd hand school bus with 25 seats to be my family camper bus for travel. The bus road tax are still alive and register as Perkhimata awan-bas sekolah. Can i covert to personal achieve or for camper car purpose?
If yes, please teaching me the process. appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you know what is current market fee charged to the student for bus sekolah (van)? Planing to start my own business…

Dear, Cikgu Yap.

I’m About to start a business to operate a school bus, but lost in what should go on.
Here’s my Question

1. Can the bus been operate multi business line? like private passenger & Students.
– as understand from above post, I cant do that.

2. Hired a driver, how could be the salary like in range?
– Driver must have PSV badge
– Class “D” License

3. What kind of license do i need to apply
– L.P.K.P. Permit

4.I plan to a brand new Toyota Hiace 14-18 seated van
– As currently targeted 12 student in my neighborhood to the School
– If able to get more student I’ll start with 18 seated van
– Examination form Puspakom
– School Bus insurance (it’s count per student or per Buses?)

5. I’m confuse the fare rate to run this business, what’s the average routine fare/month for 17km from home to School. just a guide line.

Thanks

I feel it is better to get a new vehicle if you wish to set up a bus sekolah. Less problems.
