25.01.2022 Please be advised there will be changes to a bus service affecting Sunnybank State High School in Term 1 2021. Each year, transport network planners from both Translink and Transport for Brisbane (a division of Brisbane City Council) review bus services provided for school travel. The review looks at passenger numbers, most efficient use of resources, planned changes to class times the we have been informed of, scheduled running time of services and integration with the regul...ar public transport network (bus, rail and ferry). As a result, 842, 844, 850 and 855 routes will be modified. The changes predominantly remove elongated, duplicated and unused sections of the routes. The changes to services will be made available within Translink’s Journey Planner two weeks prior to the start of the 2021 school year. Students will need to re-plan their journeys accordingly. Any questions related to school travel can be directed to TransLink via telephone on ph: 13 12 30 or via other methods using the links available at https://translink.com.au/contact-us
