2023 School Service Changes

From Term One 2023, there will be changes to a significant number of school services across the Transperth network. These changes are made to offer the best possible service across the network.

Students intending to travel to school via public transport should:

  • Visit our Get On Board website for more information for parents and students using our services
  • Plan your journey prior to school starting. The JourneyPlanner will be updated with the new school services prior to school starting. Remember to change the date in the JourneyPlanner to the first day of school and make sure 'School Bus' is selected
  • Obtain a Student SmartRider or ensure you have exact cash to purchase a ticket, as bus drivers aren't currently giving change
  • Not every school will undergo changes, however all students should plan their journey before starting the new school year.

Please note that as services change, this information will be updated. Please continue to check back until the start of term.
