É«ÓûÍõ³¯ offers a cost effective and convenient transport option for getting your daughter/s to and from the school.

Brisbane Bus Lines run four bus routes exclusively for Stuartholme students each morning and afternoon. Detailed information including maps, payment and registration may be found below, however, if you have any queries please email kcollins@stuartholme.com

• In Term 4, buses will run through to Friday 24 November (12.15pm departure).
• In Term 1 2024, buses will start on Wednesday 24 January and run through until Thursday 28 March (12.15pm departure).

Electronic tracking.ÌýÌýAll families are encouraged to install the TransportME app so that they can track their bus in real time. All students must use their Student ID cards to tap-on and tap-off the bus every trip; in this way, their usage is monitored and we can aim to keep the service as useful as possible to families.

2024 Bus Pass Options

• Annual – $1,293
• Term – $387 per term  ( A $20 surcharge will apply for payments received after the second Thursday of each term.)
• Casual (10 trips) – $106

We are offering a discounted rate for those families using the very closest bus stops to school, as we hope this will reduce traffic congestion and encourage our most local parents to use the service. Note: only the stops at Toowong, Bardon, and Milton Rd are offered at the discounted rate of $1,034 (Annual) and $310 (Term).

Please contact Karen Collins to discuss further at kcollins@stuartholme.com.

Please Note: Each Bus Service has limited seats and preference will be given to students with permanent bookings.

Details are being finalised now for a revised registration and payment method in 2024; we will advise all parents when the system is operational and you can start registering for next year.

Conditions of travel

• Students must be registered to travel on the bus.
• Seating is limited; priority will be given to students travelling on annual and term passes. In rare cases, students may be required to stand, as occurs on Council buses
• Students travelling on the buses are representatives of the School and are required to behave appropriately.
• Seatbelts must be worn at all times.
• It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of their bus route number. They must ensure they are at the correct bus stop at least 5 minutes prior to the timetabled departure time of the stop (or group of stops).
• Buses will not pass a pickup point before the timetabled time; however they may be delayed due to traffic congestion. Students are to remain at the stop until the bus arrives.
• Timings and pickup points may change depending on the needs of students. If this is the case, parents will be notified via email  at the beginning of each term.
• Bus routes are reviewed annually and any amendments will be communicated at the earliest convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Trying to determine the most cost efficient pass to get?   
  • Our Annual Pass is the cheapest option for regular users throughout the year (~ $3.60 per trip for those using the bus each day).
  • Term Passes are designed for those regular users who are heavily involved in term-specific activities (regular use in a Term costs ~ $4.30 per trip).
  • Casual 10-trip Passes are $10.60 per trip, so are designed for infrequent use (ie on average over a term, up to 3 trips per week); they remain valid over several terms.
• Want to trial the system first?  
  • If you are not sure how the bus service will work for your family, you may purchase a Casual or Term 1 pass and then upgrade to an Annual Pass for $1,293 less the amount already paid.  The upgrade must however be paid for no later than the second Thursday of Term 2.  Please contact Karen Collins to organise the appropriate payment.
