Choose a route and stop (if your school has not assigned one)

If your school has not pre-assigned a place on a route for one or more of your children, their name shows in red with a warning triangle. When you select Book, a pop-up shows:

  • A: your child’s name
  • B: Do you require a Bus for any day of the week. Select this to show that you want a bus for this child on any day of the week. More options then appear.

  2. Select a Route and a Stop on that route, then select OK.

    To change the route or stop for a particular day, contact your school and ask them to do it.

  4. When all the information is correct and you have completed the tabs for all your children, select OK.
