School Bus Services – what you need to know for the start of term

From Monday 1 September 2025 there will be changes to some services to better suit the school start and finish times. 

Information for schools, parents and pupils about travelling to and from school or college is available on the Schools and Colleges Bus Information Page.

Information about SEN home to school travel is available on the Local Education Authority pages of relevant council websites. 

We are reminding pupils to apply for their Zoom travel pass ahead of the new school year to benefit from cheaper travel.

Zoom Under 16 and Zoom 16-18 Travel Passes offer anyone aged 11-18, who lives in South Yorkshire, travel for £1 per single journey on any bus or tram in South Yorkshire and half fare on local trains. 

With a Zoom travel pass young people can also buy cheaper 1, 7 or 28-day public transport tickets. 
More information on young people’s travel passes is available at Zoom Youth Travel Passes.
