Bus Charges
We have endeavoured to make the cost as affordable as possible and we acknowledge financial assistance received from the State Government through the South Australia Regional Bus Grant program.
The cost per journey is $2.00 for regular bookings (where a bus seat is booked for regular and frequent travel during the school term) or $3.00 for casual travel.
Where seats are limited due to demand, the HILS bus service gives priority to regular users travelling on a daily basis (morning and afternoon).
Payments, notification of absences and virtual tracking of the buses will be made available through the BusMinder Parent app. This can be downloaded from Apple App Store (Apple devices) or Google Play (Android devices).
Bookings
Regular and casual bookings are available; however, families requiring regular, long-term bookings have priority use of the bus service. Casual tickets are granted where spaces are available.
We require at least one business day's notice for bookings which can be made here.
