SAO PAULO - With the arrival of the holidays many parents are still in doubt whether or not paying school transport in this period. However, according to the IDEC (Brazilian Institute for Consumer Protection), everything depends on the contract.
According to the Institute attorney, Mariana Ferraz, school transportation may charge tuition for the months of vacation, if this is first informed consumer. The same goes for charging different fees for the period of rest.
"If parents sign a contract with the company for the service, it must come informed on the express clause. If there is no contract, this information should be provided in another way, ensuring that the consumer becomes aware of this fact in advance, "says Mariana.
Tips for hiring
For parents who do not yet have this type of service, but want to sign him this semester, Idec provides some tips:
Make sure the driver has a license in category D, the course of school transport provided by the DMV (State Department of Transit), and license to work. Remember that the driver of the vehicle must be 21 years;
Find out about the driver. The Institute directs parents to ask for the driver's license number and check the Department of Public Transportation in the city;
