25.01.2022 Good Afternoon All Buses R Us had suspended fare payment for a period of one week whilst we implemented procedures to help combat the risks associated with the spread of COVID-19. We now wish to advise that Buses R Us will be re-commencing the normal fare system next week starting on Monday morning the 23rd of March. We will be patient whilst this filters through to all families over the first few days but we would expect everything to be back to normal by Wednesday 25th Mar...ch. All our drivers are working hard to disinfect all surfaces twice daily to keep buses clean and safe for all users after each school run. Our drivers will be minimizing any person to person contact. All students on fare paying services are required to provide the drivers with either a Free travel Green Card/Ticket or Money (unless they travel from a free travel zone). Thank you for your understanding in these circumstances.

15.01.2022 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Day one of our new times and routes has come and gone with a few anxious moments for students, caregivers, our fantastic bus drivers and management. Thanks for your patience with these adjustment. Our drivers did need to take a bit of time today to explain a few of the changes which resulted in running late on most runs today. As the days move forward these times should get closer to the timetables as listed. We have the last of our schools starting tomorrow then we will be able to start to get a better idea of how everything is working out. Please remember to be at your bus stop 5 minutes early to avoid missing the bus and please have some understanding that our drivers are all learning these new routes too.

11.01.2022 Congratulations to Ulverstone Rep, Director Andrea Harding & her production team, and the fab, zany cast of OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS (OK) for a funny, entertaining, a...nd thoroughly enjoyable evenings theatrical experience. This is one opportunity shop like no other!! Peopled by the most diverse group of personalities imaginable, the characters and laughs pour out from beginning to end. Indeed, all the characters and caricatures you come across in life are on stage and, as the comedy progresses, all at the same time! OK is a busy show with lots of characters on stage together and doing lots of different jobs in the shop. This worked really well and added to the clever dialog and the numerous gags. As Molly M says, Do yourself a favour and dont miss the opportunity to see this terrific comedy ~ Saturday evenings full house certainly enjoyed it and you will too! See more
