2025 School Service Changes

Bus timetables can seem like a puzzle when you're not used to looking at them, but with a bit of experience they become much simpler to figure out. A bus timetable is a schedule that lists the times when buses are expected to arrive at and depart from specific stops along their routes. It usually includes information about the days of the week the service operates, the route numbers, and the timing for each stop. Timetables help passengers plan their journeys by providing a clear outline of when they can catch a bus to reach their destination.

If your child has or will be changing schools or address in 2024 you are required to complete a new application form to determine if they are still eligible for a bus pass.

Going on your first bus journey can feel a bit scary, but it's actually simple once you know how it works. Here's a beginner's guide to help you get around in the the world with buses: 1. Plan Your Trip: Check the schedule: Look up the bus routes and timetables that visit your destination. Many cities have online resources or mobile apps that can send you real-time information. Determine your starting point: Find the nearest bus stop to your location. Plan your route: Use a journey planner to find the best route and figure out your travel time. 2. Purchase a Ticket: Fare options: Most cities offer various fare options, such as single tickets, daily passes, or weekly or monthly passes. Purchase methods: Tickets can usually be bought at bus stops, vending machines, or through mobile apps. Some cities also allow contactless payment using cards or smartphones. 3. Find Your Stop: Look for signs: Bus stops are usually marked with signs that tell you the bus routes that visit them. Be aware of bus lanes: Some cities have dedicated bus lanes, so be sure to wait in the right area. 4. Board the Bus: Signal the driver: When the bus approaches, signal the driver that you wish to board by raising your hand. Pay your fare: Have your ticket or payment ready to show to the driver. Find a seat: Look for a empty seat that's comfortable and safe. 5. Alight at Your Stop: Signal the driver: Press the stop request button or signal the driver a few stops before your destination. Gather your belongings: As the bus approaches your stop, gather your belongings and prepare to leave. 6. Additional Tips: Be on time: Arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early to make sure you don't miss your ride. Be kind: Be mindful of other passengers and avoid blocking the aisles or exits. Follow the rules: Sticl to any specific rules or regulations set by the transit authority. By following these simple steps, you'll be well on your way to becoming a confident bus rider. Happy travels!
