Below is the flyer that was sent home to all York Street bus students at the beginning of term.

The Department of State Growth has advised that the charges for the York Street bus will begin this Monday, 4th March.

The cost of the student fare is $1.80 each way, however a 20% discount on the fare is available when a ten ride ticket is purchased from the bus operator. A ten ride ticket will cost $14.40 and will enable students to travel for ten trips on the bus.  Fares will need to be paid in cash. 

All tickets are to be purchased from the bus operator.

In the event that a student does not have the required fare/pre-paid ticket to access the bus, the operator will not leave them at the school or bus stop. The operator would be entitled to take the names and addresses of the student/s that are unable to pay for the fare or prduce a pre-paid ticket, and seek reimbursement of that fare at a later time. Consistent failure to pay the fare or produce a pre-paid ticket may result in the operator taking action in accordance with its code of conduct.

Any further questions or complaints will need to be directed to the Passenger Transport Branch, Department of State Growth. You can contact them on:
