RTA buses are 25 coaster buses, with all safety equipment on board. Buses are staffed by professionally trained drivers and assistants who follow the school approved safety procedures, maintaining the well-being and safety of all our students on their journeys to and from school.

Having a capacity to take on board 25 students, we are allowed to load only 21 students as per RTA safety requirements, rules & regulations.
