- MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION
A student may use a private car, take part in a carpool, ride a yellow van or take the shuttle service going to and from Vermosa.
a. RECOGNIZED TRANSPORT SERVICE PROVIDERS (RTSP) OR YELLOW VAN
OPERATORS
The RTSP or yellow van operators are grouped according to cluster or area.
They have been instructed to dedicate vehicles that will exclusively serve
Vermosa students. Kindly transact directly with the operators assigned to
your residential area. The clustering scheme and the monthly fee have been
reviewed by the Campus Services Office Head, Director of Administrative
Services, and designated officers of the Parents Association. Kindly
contact the Campus Services Office at 771DLSZ local 320 or 324 for the list
of operators, their areas, and monthly rates.
There are operators who are amenable to pick up students in an identified
depot inside the subdivision. This is true for BF Homes Subdivision in
Parañaque. Kindly ask your operator if this is something workable in your
area.
b. SHUTTLE SERVICE
Since the initial survey to parents was rolled out in November 2016, it was
identified that coasters will be used by the students since this is the
only big vehicle that can be granted access to the Champaca Gate. Since the
Champaca Gate, as of now, is not accessible to non-residents, the shuttle
service will now exit through Acacia and take Daang Hari Road going to
Vermosa. Due to this news, the shuttle services to be used are brand new
60-seater buses.
This is a two-way, ten-month arrangement that costs P4,000 per month. The
buses will be exclusively assigned to DLSZ. These will be parked in Vermosa
during the day and will be in the Alabang Campus at night. During the Open
House on May 27 and 30, the bus will be available for use.
During the first two weeks of classes, the administration deems it best to
first gather all the SHS students inside the Alabang Campus before going to
Vermosa. Certain administrators will orient the students regarding the
shuttle service during the first few days of classes. As such, students who
are non-Ayala Alabang Village residents may first take the DLSZ bus in
going inside the campus where the shuttle service is waiting. There will be
DLSZ buses that will leave McDo ATC at 6:20, 6:45 and 7:10 am. In the
afternoon, these buses will wait for the SHS students and leave the Alabang
Campus for McDo ATC at 5:30 and 5:45 pm.
c. TRANSPORTATION PRE-REGISTRATION FORM
Students whose parents have accomplished the Pre-Registration Form sent out
via Family Portal last month are assured of seats in the shuttle. Those who
wish to avail of the shuttle service must accomplish the Pre-Registration
Form . Deadline is on Friday, June 2.
Transportation Service Contracts, information on payment procedures and
other related documents shall be given during the Parents Orientation on
June 6, 2017.
