Student ID Cards

Student ID Cards - BusMinder 

Students are required to "tap on" and "tap off" the BusMinder card reader using their Student ID card every time they travel on the bus (including Charter bus operators such as Brisbane Bus Lines).  Should they forget their ID card, they can use the search function in the system to board manually which has the same affect as tapping on with their ID card. 

Parents will receive a BusMinder notification on their Smart Phone when their Student taps on or taps off the bus. The student's current balance is sent with the alert as an easy way to keep track of their available funds.

Student ID Cards - New School Year

Returning Students are required to use their old Student ID Card until they receive their new card (usually by the end of the first week of Term 1). This card will still work up until the Expiry Date and will save time when boarding the bus rather than manually searching the system.

New students will be already loaded into the BusMinder system, so if they tell the driver that they are new students, the driver can search for their name on boarding and departing the bus. New students can expect to receive their Student ID cards shortly after their photo is taken (usually by the end of the first week of Term 1).
