School Buses from 15 March

We'll be running our usual school buses from Monday 15 March, plus we'll be doing all we can to help keep pupils safe whilst travelling with us.

Keeping you safe

We've been running bus services throughout the pandemic, and have safety measures in place to keep everyone safe. To find out more about what we're doing, hop over to the 'Travelling by bus during the Coronavirus outbreak' page here.

Face coverings

The Welsh Government has advised that if social distancing cannot be maintained, particularly with the youngest learners, face coverings should be worn anywhere on the school estate, including in the classroom by staff at primary and secondary schools and secondary school learners. Face coverings should also be worn by pupils in year 7 and above on dedicated school transport.

Why getting the bus is good for everyone

• Reverting to increased numbers in car journeys on the school run will generate greater congestion and impact negatively on local air quality, especially around schools.
• You can use our journey planner to see how many steps you've walked today and how many carbon emissions you've saved.
• Travelling by bus can lead to improved air quality, helping to keep us healthier. Did you know the average walk to a bus stop in the UK is around 1,000 steps? If you do that five days a week for a year that over 260 miles – that’s the equivalent of walking to Disneyland Paris!
