Improving data for school student travel

3 Nov 2023

Transport for NSW and our bus operator Busways will be visiting PAC on 13 March 2025 to carry out a count of students using bus services. This will supplement Opal card information and give us improved insights as to how many students are catching buses, so that they can better plan our services.

The visit will be for 20 minutes prior to the end of school time until departure of the last bus. During the visit our staff will remind students to use their School Opal card prior to boarding buses and provide information about how to replace a lost card for free. Key messages for students we would ask you to share before the visit are:

  • always tap on and off when using your School Opal card
  • follow the Opal terms of use and only use your School Opal card to travel to and from school
  • always follow the Student code of conduct when you’re on the bus
  • be polite and courteous to the Bus Driver and follow their reasonable instructions
