04 May 2013 see the 1st and last line of the paragraph, if u in hurry

“auxiliary educational services” means any services relating to imparting any skill, knowledge, education or development of course content or any other knowledge – enhancement activity, whether for the students or the faculty, or any other services which educational institutions ordinarily carry out themselves but may obtain as outsourced services from any other person, including services relating to admission to such institution, conduct of examination, catering for the students under any mid-day meals scheme sponsored by Government, or transportation of students, faculty or staff of such institution.

hence transportation is covered, so no tax when provided to school,
though direct payment from students is not the facility provided to school, as it will cover in transportation of passengers, this is case of contract carriage hence not in negative list also this is the case of chartered bus/hired bus so again not exempt in mega exemption.
