School Transportation
The Lycée Français de Manille is committed to sustainable development by promoting soft mobility and the use of public transportation to facilitate student travel and reduce environmental impact.
In line with this approach, the school's parking area is intentionally limited for private vehicles in order to better manage traffic flow and reduce congestion during drop-off and pick-up times. As a result, drop-off and pick-up may take longer than expected, particularly during peak hours.
Parking Usage Rules:
• Drive slowly (speed limit of 5km/hr);
• Strictly refrain from idling and honking;
• Be aware of pedestrians, they have priority over vehicles in all circumstances;
• Park in the parking spaces without obstructing the passage of pedestrians and cars;
• Not keep your children waiting in the vicinity of other vehicles, but to let them out of the car only when you are ready to accompany them to the lobby;
• Use the pedestrian crossings to cross the traffic lanes;
• When using the drop off lane, please do not step out of your car and avoid putting student’s bags in the trunk, a drop off should not take more than 20 seconds
Bus Service: Rules to Follow
*PLEASE BE ON TIME
Morning pick-up: The bus company gives you a pick-up schedule for your children in the morning. As stipulated in the contract, children must be ready 5 minutes before the pick-up time. For the well-being of all children, the bus will not wait if your child is not ready.
Afternoon pick-up: You should also be aware that the bus will not wait more than 10 minutes after class dismissal time on the return journey. Departure at 2.10 p.m. maximum for the 2 p.m. dismissal time, 3.40 p.m. for the 3.30 p.m. dismissal time and 5.35 p.m. for the 5.25 p.m. dismissal time.
*FOLLOW THE SCHEDULE
All parents have provided their children's timetables, so that the bus company can make the best possible arrangements for afternoon transport. These timetables are fixed for the school year and can no longer be changed "on demand" by parents each day. There will be a tolerance for exceptions, however, bus companies will only accept last minute schedule changes when possible and as long as it does not disproportionately affect the travel time of other children
*RESPECT SECURITY MEASURES
We ask parents to make their children aware of the importance of wearing seatbelts on the bus. The "Bus Mothers" are there to check that all children are wearing their seatbelts when the bus departs, but they are sometimes powerless when a child decides to unbuckle constantly.

Good to know:
The carpooling app will be managed and moderated by volunteer parents from our school. This community-driven initiative is made possible thanks to the dedication of LFM parents who want to contribute to the success of this new platform.
Behind this app is Mobicoop, a French company committed to promoting sustainable mobility. Mobicoop uses open-source technology to ensure the transparency and security of the platform. This means the app is built on open and accessible software solutions, guaranteeing a trustworthy digital environment.
Moreover, to better serve our international community, the app will also be available in English, allowing all LFM community members to benefit from this carpooling solution, regardless of their level of French proficiency.
Important note on privacy:
