Canadian school does not have school buses that I am aware of.
American School does offer school bus service, for a hefty added fee.
The bus picks up my kids at 6:50 am for a 45 minute ride to ASD. There is a bus driver and a bus monitor on each bus. Hopefully at least 1 of them speaks English. Unfortunately they are not always the best trained people. The buses do have seatbealts for each child. The drivers drive pretty safely, but other drivers treat buses no different, they still cut them off, change lanes in front of them, etc. It would probably be much safer to drive your own children each day, but not all of us have the time to do that. In 5+ years here, no serious accidents have occured with the school buses.
You need to determine which school your children will attend (where you are accepted) and then see if they even offer school bus service. If not, plan to find a villa near the school to avoid spending all your time in the car.
