Can students get a permanent transfer to another bus?
A. Students are normally allocated a place on the nearest available bus to their home address. Once a permanent bus pass has been issued, it is not normally possible to transfer to another bus to accommodate personal preferences. However, if a student wishes to arrange a swap with another student, this can be done by returning both bus passes to the PTU, with letters requesting changes from both students’ parents/guardians. Students will need to obtain temporary passes for their current buses to continue to travel while waiting for new permanent passes. Sometimes, transfer requests are received because of bullying. In these cases, we would prefer the school to deal with the cause of the bullying in the fi rst instance but a transfer may be considered in exceptional circumstances.
