School Bus Service
Glenlyon Norfolk School and St. Michaels University School share transportation services. Please review the latest version of the combined GNS/SMUS Bus Routes and Maps, which are subject to change. School bus service will commence on Thursday, September 9.
Please note that not all stops are listed. We generally use BC Transit stops, although other stops are possible as long as they are deemed safe. Further, giving us a wave in the morning really helps us as we approach your stop, as does having your child remind us in the afternoon that their stop is just ahead.
We ask that all students be at the bus stop at least 3 minutes ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Due to traffic and weather conditions, departure times could vary by 5 to 6 minutes. However, the driver will not leave the stops prior to the times listed.
An important reminder: the "late" bus does not operate on the last school day of the week. Normally this is Friday, however, prior to a long weekend or extended break, this may be another day of the week. NB: The Late Bus has been temporarily suspended.
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.
Important for 2021/2022
