Considering the practical needs to transport students from their residents to schools and vice versa, many private schools in Vietnam are offering the school bus service for the students’ parents on demand and separately collecting transportation fees from these parents. While some schools engage transportation companies to carry out the school bus service, others decide to perform such service by themselves.
Previously, the school bus services had not caught attention from the state authorities as well as the public until the repetition of school-bus-related accidents occurred across Vietnam. Since 01 January 2025, several legislative documents that may govern the school bus service have come into effect, including Law No. 35/2024/QH15 on Road (Law on Road 2024), Decree No. 158/2024/ND-CP regulating road transportation business activities (Decree 158), Law No. 36/2024/QH15 on Road Order and Safety (Law on Road Order and Safety) and Decree 151/2024/ND-CP regulating on a number of articles and measures for implementing the Law on Road Traffic Safety and Order (Decree 151).
In this legal update, we will highlight a number of remarkable requirements for the schools’ attention regarding the performance of the school bus service under the updated laws of Vietnam.
