Transport at Marlborough College Malaysia
Transport
The transport requirements for the College are diverse and, sometimes, complex. As a department our primary task is to manage the daily commute for the Day Pupils in Singapore and Malaysia. We also manage transport for the Boarders and all the excursion and sports trips.
The daily management of the transport function requires coordination between transport providers, parents, pupils and beaks so we do encourage accurate and timely communication.
Please note that, due to the length of time spent on the bus, it has been decided, on educational grounds, that new pupils in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will not be able to take the Singapore buses. We would also recommend that new pupils in Year 3 and Year 4 do not take the Singapore buses, although this is left to parental discretion. Also note that Nursery pupils will not be able to take the Johor buses.
Parents wishing to use the bus service must understand that, whilst we make our best effort to achieve the most efficient journey, there will be occasions when, due to circumstances beyond our control, the time taken will be greater than we would hope.
For the Singapore buses, all children must have eIACS (enhanced-Immigration Automated Clearance) and MACS (Malaysian Automated Clearance). This means that all pupils go through the automatic lane at both Singapore and Malaysian Immigration.
Additionally, we can assist in answering queries on passports, visas and passes. We may not have the answer immediately but can call on range of authorities to help find a solution.
