I take schoolbus to school when i was in primary school. Every morning, after alighting us at 7.00am, the schoolbus will rush to serve as service 640 during the morning, at about 7.05am.Originally posted by 105090:yeah. Scheme B buses not reliable. some drivers operate as school buses, then rush down to operate as Scheme B services. in fact, whether they want to operate the SchemeB services is up to themselve sometimes
