School Rail and Bus Pass holders

Following the announcement by the Premier on 21 December 2008, School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) arrangements for 2009 will remain consistent with those that applied in 2008.

The one exception is that eligible travel from school to home will be extended to 7:00 p.m., using the regular scheduled transport services provided by the student's approved transport operator.

The New South Wales Government will fund 100 per cent of eligible student travel. Application forms are available from schools and passes will be issued in 2009 in the same way they were issued in 2008.

Pass travel on services is from 6.30am to 7pm. To be eligible for a Pass, students must live:

1. Infants and primary students: 1.6kms radius or 2.3kms walking distance from school;
2. Secondary students: 2kms radius or 2.9kms walking distance from school.

To obtain a school bus pass, ask your child's school who will provide you with the necessary forms. Passes are issued at the beginning of the school year.

Please note that school bus timetable information is not available on the 131500 site. This information should be obtained through your child's school or local bus company.
