The start of the 2021/22 school year sees the introduction of a major update to school bus transport in Buckinghamshire.
Buckinghamshire Council provides school bus services for those children eligible for free home to school transport and sells any remaining spare seats. This year, the Council’s bus routes have been revised and new contracts put in place. 74 Council-provided school bus routes are in place. These are new routes, and parents are advised to check the Council’s website for full details of all bus timetables.
As part of these changes, 14 new commercially run school only bus routes have been launched. These are run independently of the Council to cater for parents/carers who want to buy a seat for their child on a school bus.
Parents are advised to check the Council’s website for the latest Council bus timetable information or commercial bus websites for independently-run buses.
Council routes and timetables are available online at www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/school-transport
Details of the commercial school bus routes can be found at www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/commercial-school-buses
Details of public buses in Buckinghamshire are available here: www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/public-transport
Steven Broadbent, Buckinghamshire Council Cabinet Member for Transport, said:
“At the start of the school term the Council will be transporting approximately 4,200 children on school buses.
“Bus transport is vital for supporting parents but also for reducing carbon emissions, and our public and commercial bus operators are key partners in tackling climate change. I’m really pleased to see that there are an additional 14 commercially run new school bus routes operating across the county which the Council’s officer team have worked to help set up.”
