How to plan your trip
Planning your journey is as easy as choosing the way you prefer to do it!
Journey Planner
You can plan your journey by using the search on the homepage of our website. Put in your destination, and then follow the prompts to find the best trip for you.
Please note:
Our school bus network does not show in Journey Planner. You can still use the search to find a particular school bus timetable, or you can visit our Timetable pages to find your school bus.
Live tracking
Live tracking helps you find out how far away your bus is.
Our GPS-based system provides real-time updates whenever the Wi-Fi symbol is visible. However, connectivity issues or temporary route changes may sometimes cause differences from actual bus times.
Find it on our individual Timetable pages.
