General Bus & Rail Information

Nearly all students now use a Snapper card for travelling on public buses. The College ID card serves as proof of age and identity to make sure that students are able to purchase the appropriate Snapper card during their time at the College and are charged the appropriate fare. The College provides students with the ability to top up the Snapper Card at school and even purchase a Snapper Card.

When using public transport, Scots students should assemble well back from the footpath. It is expected that all students will behave in an orderly manner when using buses and shuttles. Students represent the College when using any form of public transport or the Tranzit, shuttle, train or ferry services. 

    Any student reported for misbehaving on a bus may well be banned from using this form of transport.

      Tranzit Buses

      The College operates Tranzit buses from Khandallah, Crofton Downs, Churton Park, Island Bay, Eastbourne and Central Hutt Tranzit Buses. These services are for the exclusive use of Scots College Students

      These routes are reviewed throughout the year and parents will be notified of any changes if they occur. All Tranzit service stops will be from metlink bus stops. All these stops are coded with a unique number which can be searched and mapped using the www.metlink.org.nz/ site. Students will only be picked up and dropped off at these stops to adhere to health and safety rules regarding Tranzit operations.

      The Junior School City Bus is for students in the Junior School who disembark on or before Park Street. This bus departs the College at 3.15pm.

      Transport Passes

      Students using any shuttle or Tranzit bus service must possess either a Term Pass or a 10 Trip Pass. 10 trip passes continue to be valid across terms. Passes can be ordered online and collected from the College uniform shop or the Business Centre during school holidays. Payments for these passes are charged to your account.

      Students are required to show their pass to the driver when boarding for each trip. Drivers will mark each trip on a 10 trip pass.

      Term pass prices are based on the number of weeks per term and also include up to 2 weeks free travel (depending on the type of service and length of school term)

      Booking of these services and passes can be made on the Transport Pass Order Form

      These costs are reviewed each term and are dependent on the number of passengers. Orders are now open for Term 3 and passes will be available for collection from the College shop.

      We have explored the 50% discount to public transport and unfortunately as our Tranzit run bus service is not a council run bus service open to general public use it is not eligible for any subsidy.
