With 20 urban routes crossing Hamilton City, most schools are either on a bus route or just a short walk away.

Whenever you travel in the city, you can transfer onto another bus for free within half an hour. Find your easiest route to school on our Journey Planner, or use the free Transit app. 

Buses can be busy, especially at the end of the school day, so make sure to look into all the possible routes you can take to get to and from school. Visit us at the BUSIT counter at the Hamilton Transport Centre counter for expert travel advice.

Lost property

If you have lost an item on the bus, please contact us to report your item missing. Lost property is returned to the BUSIT counter inside the Transport Centre a few times a week. We are open Monday-Friday from 8am-4.30pm for you to collect found items.

Unfortunately, not every item is handed in. If school uniform is branded and named, we endeavour to contact you through your school.

Lost property is held for one month before it is donated to charity, or disposed of responsibly. 

Behaviour

Everyone deserves a friendly, clean, safe and comfortable journey. Treat others, the driver and the bus with respect. 

When you're on the bus:

  • No eating
  • No drinking
  • No feet on seats
  • No loud music - use your headphones.

There is a formal code of conduct. You can read it here, and it's also displayed on the buses and at the Transport Centre.
