Bus Transportation
St. Michaels University School and Glenlyon Norfolk School share transportation services. The latest version of the combined SMUS/GNS bus routes and maps are below and are subject to change.
First day of busing is Thursday, September 5.
Important Notes
- All bus students must register to ride the bus. All students who wish to ride the bus to and/or from school on any of our bus routes MUST have completed the bus registration form for 2024-25.
- Student cards are required to board the bus. Passengers pay for each trip with their Student Card, which contains a bar code. Each bus has a bar code scanner. The charge will be applied to the month-end billing.
- Not all stops are listed. BC Transit stops are generally used, although other stops are possible as long as they are deemed safe.
- For the majority of SMUS’s transportation needs, the school uses SMUS/GNS buses driven by SMUS/GNS staff drivers. In some cases, SMUS students will travel in a SMUS school van, rental vehicle or private vehicle driven by SMUS faculty or staff. The school also periodically hires certified external transportation companies and drivers to transport students in non-SMUS/GNS school buses or coaches.
Morning bus pick ups
- During the shortened days during winter months, most bus pick-ups are done in the dark. To assist drivers in seeing the students as they approach the bus stops, please consider attaching a reflective tape, flashing light or tag to your child's backpack. Together we can help keep students safe.
- Giving the bus a wave in the morning helps bus drivers as they approach your stop.
- Students should be at the bust stop at least three minutes ahead of the scheduled pick-up time.
Afternoon bus drop offs
- Reminding bus drivers in the afternoon that their stop is ahead is also helpful.
- Due to traffic and weather conditions, departure times could vary by 5-6 minutes. However, the driver will not leave the stops prior to the times listed.
Bus Fares
