Transport for NSW is working closely with the Department of Education and the education sector and is playing a vital role in supporting students getting back to school.
The NSW Government’s policy is to not leave a school student behind.
There are currently no physical distancing restrictions on dedicated school services.
School students will be given priority over other customers on general services, even if this means a service goes over physical distancing capacity.
Adults may have to wait for the next service or may choose to get off if not comfortable with how many customers are on a service.
Parents and carers should make travel choices which suit their individual circumstances, including driving, walking and cycling.
Transport for NSW is here to support our customers with real time information provided through apps, social media and the Transport Info website in order to see which services have space available.
Transport for NSW continues to ramp-up cleaning across the network with a daily focus on high-touch areas like handrails and Opal readers.
Students are reminded to tap on and tap off using their Opal cards on Opal enabled services.
Everyone must remember they have a role to play in making the public transport network as safe as possible.
Our frontline people have been doing an amazing job and we ask everyone to continue to show respect and understanding.
