Choosing a Community Workshop
A student group plans to attend a workshop at the Civic Center on Saturday. There are 20 students. The group can leave school no earlier than 9:00 a.m. and must arrive by 10:15 a.m. The students want to travel together on one bus, without changing buses. The teacher will pay the fares from a fund of 6,000 yen. Read the timetable, the fare notice, and the teacher’s email before choosing a plan.
Saturday bus timetable
| Bus | Leaves school stop | Arrives Civic Center | Seats available |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 8:50 | 9:30 | 30 |
| B | 9:10 | 9:55 | 24 |
| C | 9:30 | 10:20 | 30 |
| D | 9:45 | 10:10 | 16 |
Times are scheduled times and may change if roads are closed. Bus D uses a smaller vehicle on Saturdays.
Fare notice
A one-way student ticket costs 350 yen. Groups of at least 15 students may request a group ticket at 280 yen per student, but only if the request is submitted by noon on the previous day. A group ticket is valid for the named bus only. Adults pay separately and are not included in the student group size. The ticket office will email confirmation after it receives the request.
Teacher’s email
I confirmed that all 20 students will attend. I will submit the group-ticket request on Friday morning once we have selected a bus. Please do not count my fare in the 6,000-yen student fund. The workshop organizer has asked us to bring one completed question sheet per student. I will print the sheets on Friday; please return your answers to me before we leave school.
If the bus company announces a road closure, I will check the revised schedule. We should not assume that a scheduled arrival time will remain unchanged. We will decide the return journey separately after the workshop, since its finishing time depends on the discussion.
Notes for the group
The Civic Center has a water fountain near the entrance. Students may bring reusable bottles. The workshop room is on the second floor, with stairs and an elevator available. Participants who need help finding the room can ask at the information desk. The group must remain together on the outward bus; students may not travel separately merely to use an otherwise suitable service.
