GISS School Buses

From Term 1, 2024, GISS will be streamlining our service model to four trunk routes. This will increase the efficiency of our bus service, together with significantly reducing costs to families by between 20%-30%. This restructuring not only benefits our families financially but also enhances the overall quality of our transportation service.

The benefits include:

  • Upgraded bus fleet: All routes will be operated by modern Mitsubishi Fuso buses, each equipped with 24 comfortable seats and full seat belts. Safety is our top priority, and these buses offer a secure and pleasant travel experience for our students. By upgrading our buses, we ensure that your child's commute is both safe and comfortable.
  • Efficient and Convenient Routes: All of our routes have been meticulously planned to ensure that no journey exceeds one hour. This means less time spent on the road and more time for your child's studies, extracurricular activities, and family time. We understand the importance of minimizing travel time, and our streamlined routes are designed to make your child's daily commute more convenient and productive.
  • Affordable Pricing: Reduced pricing will make our bus services more accessible to all families. Not only will bus trips become cheaper, but will remain flexible to include last-minute bookings, making planning the school run easy.
  • Environmental considerations: Our buses provide a convenient and environmentally friendly alternative to driving yourself, contributing to a cleaner and greener community.

These four new trunk routes have been carefully designed in order to bring our bus operations at GISS in line with other leading educational institutions. This will shift our service from a door-to-door model to a more efficient, dependable, and cost-effective solution.

We understand that some areas will no longer be served by our buses, and for those impacted areas, public school buses and access to free transport may be available to eligible GISS students. Our dedicated admin team is able to help those impacted with any inquiries or assistance that may need to manage these changes.

Due to regulatory requirements, the school can no longer provide transportation for any students attending our GISS Preschool.

We are confident that these enhancements will streamline and improve your experience with our bus services. 

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via bus@giss.nsw.edu.au.
