BUS INFORMATION 2015
BUS ROUTE TIMETABLE
The HeronBridge bus service offers a number of morning and afternoon routes. Bus routes are subject to
change depending on demand, but information will be updated continuously. This service runs from the first
day of each term. Please refer to the attached timetable for route information.
BUS APPLICATION
Application and indemnity forms are available from all school reception offices. Alternatively online
application forms can be completed online at http://heronbridgecollege.co.za/forms/bus-
application-form
The indemnity form is to be completed at the beginning of each year and is applicable for the full 2015 year.
Bus cards are issued upon completion of the application form and indemnity. This card serves as the bus
ticket and must be shown to the driver on every trip.
Pupils are required to register for the whole year, but must give a term’s notice if they don’t
wish to use the bus the following term.
All morning routes are only available on a termly basis. These routes run to capacity and therefore casual/
adhoc tickets cannot be used for morning trips.
st
The termly charge for the bus will be billed over three months. Accounts will be debited on 1 February,

THE BUS CARD SYSTEM
Each pupil wishing to use the bus must present the driver with a bus card that will display his/her name and
photograph or once off ticket. This will display his/her name and photograph. The card must be shown to the
driver on every trip.
LOST PROPERTY
The driver will keep lost property left on the bus to be collected the next morning. Anything not collected will
be returned to the school’s lost property depot.
GENERAL
1. The bus will always display the HeronBridge College logo except the Eastern and Western Morning
Route which is serviced by a contracted bus company - Bus 2000.
2. HBC Bus service has a communication strategy in place to enable contact with drivers at all times.
3. The bus will leave promptly for every trip.
4. If your child misses the afternoon bus, he/she may go to the school office to phone home and make
arrangements to be collected from school.
5. Please ensure you are at the stop before the scheduled time as the bus drivers operate on a very
tight schedule and cannot wait for you. The onus will be on you to arrange with your child where
he/she should wait if you are not at the stop in time. All pupils under the age of 9 must be physically
collected from the bus door (exit). These pupils will not be permitted to exit the bus without being
physically collected.
6. The bus driver is empowered by the Heads to maintain order and discipline on the bus. Children are
required to listen to drivers’ instructions at all times, especially in the case of a breakdown.
7. Children are required to remain seated with seat belts fastened at all times while the bus is in
motion.
8. Eating or drinking on the bus is not permitted.
9. The times of the routes are subject to change should it be deemed necessary.
10. The EARLY afternoon buses will depart at 13h50 and15h10. The LATE afternoon bus will depart
from the College premises at 16h20 and drive through to the Sports Complex, departing this pick up
point at 16h30. Please note that there will be no 16h30 bus on a Friday.
NOTE: Both the early and the late afternoon trips (yellow and blue) service the same areas, but the early trip
is shorter to enable the drivers to return in time for the late trips. The final trips on Fridays at 15h10 will
follow the long route.
Co-curricular activities in both the Preparatory School and College are vital in our provision of a balanced
educational programme. All pupils are expected to participate according to their interests and abilities. Pupils
will not be excused from participating because of booking on the 13h40 or 15h10 trips.
The afternoon trips cannot and do not take into account the time required for official matches, either at home
or away. Alternative arrangements will need to be made by parents in these circumstances.
