Changes to public transport for school students Starts 25 October

Updated bus timetables, including dedicated school buses, start Monday 25 October 2021. A range of COVID safe measures are in place to help keep students safe on public transport. Please remind families to familiarise themselves with these measures and talk to their children about them before the return to school.

Transport Canberra has also prepared information and advice for schools to share with their school communities. Please use the attached social tile and messages that cover:

• COVID safe travel for school students – a list for students, including how to use public transport safely and remembering your MyWay card.
• Consider walking or riding to school – to help ease congestion around schools, parents and carers are encouraged to consider alternative ways to get their children to school, such as walking, riding or using a part way point.
• Park safely and legally – if driving, remember to park safely, legally and follow the speed limits.
