Bus Routes - Changes and Addition
Posted on January 24, 2019
Change - Route 420 Morning School Bus
AT Metro will be extending the route 420 morning school bus from 4 February 2019.
This route, which currently serves only Farm Cove Intermediate and Mt Marks Catholic School, is going to serve two additional schools, which should address capacity issues on local public bus services and increase overall patronage.
The other change that Farm Cove Intermediate and Mt Marks Catholic School passengers should be aware of is that, from 4 February, the bus will be departing 10 minutes earlier than currently, at 8:00 am.

New Bus - Route 428 Morning and Afternoon School Bus
AT Metro will be introducing a route 428 morning & afternoon school bus from 4 February 2019. This goal is to solve 425, 426 and 427 capacity issues.
The new route 428 will use the same bus stops as existing route 426. The start and finish point for service 428 will be at Macleans College, as there is not enough room available at the Bucklands Beach Intermediate bus bay.
