Routes #24

Glenvar Road Opening as of this coming Sunday 15 October 2023.

This means all our school routes will go back to normal.

Diverting School Bus Route 27 – Stanmore Bay to North Shore Schools

From Wednesday, 30 August 2023,until further notice:

Route 27 will not travel down Marellen Drive and Bay Street but will instead continue on Whangaparaoa Road and turn down Red Beach Road.

Students in this area of Red Beach will need to find their way to Whangaparaoa Road or Red Beach Road to catch this service.

This is due to the safety concern of a low hanging branch on Bay Street.  As this service is operated by a Double Decker bus, this diversion will remain in place until it is remedied.

This will not affect the afternoon service.

Bus Safety

 -Loading – just a reminder for common sense and not pushing, wait well back from the curb as the bus approaches and load in a single file – in an orderly manner

-Exiting – ensure the students, after getting off the bus, stand back on the curb or road side and wait until the bus has left – before they think about crossing the road – this ensures they have a clear view of other vehicles coming from either direction before they cross the road, and also gives other road users a clearer view of them once the bus is out of the way.

-Whilst on the bus students should always be seated where ever possible, not swinging on the handles etc nor climbing over the seats

-HOP cards / tickets – if parents or the students can ensure their cards are topped up (and preferably have auto top up on) as there are regularly students wanting to board with no money
