The Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia has announced that students may face suspension from the school bus service for the entire academic year if they violate safety and behavior rules. This comes as regions and governorates start accepting applications for school transport through the Noor electronic system. The bus service, costing SR200 annually, is open to both male and female students across all three stages of general education.
The ministry has emphasized that students must follow various rules, including waiting in designated areas, riding in orderly fashion, wearing seatbelts, and respecting the driver's instructions. Prohibited actions include extending body parts through windows or doors, bringing dangerous items on board, and interfering with other passengers' property.
Students must also alert the driver if they board the wrong bus or if their stop is missed. If a student breaches these rules, they could be temporarily barred from the service or permanently suspended, with no refund of the annual registration fee.
