25.01.2022 IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR KENMORE SHS STUDENTS REGARDING NEXT WEEK All passengers will catch the bus from Cromarty St for pick up at 3:10 and 3:15 (this includes passengers that usually pick up in Mabb Street travelling to Mt Crosby, Karana Downs, Chuwar, Karalee, etc). Drivers will drop all Moggill, Bellbowrie, Pullenvale, Pinjarra and Anstead Passengers FIRST. Then instead of returning to the school, they will head straight down Mt Crosby Road over the camel humps and do the 2nd... round of drop offs. This means students in Mt Crosby, Karana Downs, Chuwar, Karalee areas will be dropped home a lot earlier than normal. This has been decided in consultation with Kenmore SHS and we thank them for assisting us in this matter. They have informed us that they will be directing students to Cromarty Street pick up. Please feel free to contact us with any concerns.

Therefore, the previously advised "Door-to-Door" service WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE. NORMAL SERVICES will continue to operate ti...ll Friday 3rd April 2020. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused Kind regards, Frank Oliveri, Managing Director.

Normal school bus services WILL NOT be running from next week. Will be offering a door-to-door service instead for essential workers. Please read article for further information.
