Travel, Transport, Parking

The schools' bus service falls into two categories

• Buses that are contracted to operate a dedicated schools only bus service. These are operated by both the private coach market and CT Plus. CT Plus also provide the islands public bus service; and

• The public bus service. CT Plus operate the islands public bus service on behalf of the States and provide students with a student puffinpass that enables them to travel on public bus routes to and from school (and at any other time apart from late night services). All students in full time education are eligible to apply for a student puffinpass. Further information can be obtained from the CT Plus website, Town bus terminus' shop (where application forms have to be submitted) or by contacting CT Plus on Tel 700456.

The majority of the High School routes being operated are now utilising "ShuttleID". This is a passenger allocation and recording system and provides the pupil with a QR code that they must scan on entering the bus service that they have been allocated. The QR code is only valid on the specific service that a student has been allocated and should they try to board a different bus in the morning, they will be refused entry. Should a student attempt to board a bus other than the one they have been allocated on their way home from the school, permission to board will only be given providing all students with a valid QR code for that service have been seated first and if there remains a spare seat.

Requesting a place on a dedicated school service

To request a place for your child on a school bus, please send an email to schoolbuses@gov.gg. Your request will be considered against whether there is spare capacity on the service you are requesting and the distance your child lives from the school.
