Travel to after school activities, like sport or part time work, IS NOT COVERED by a school bus pass. If your child needs to catch a public bus to a different stop after school, they will have to purchase a ticket on the bus.
Transfers are made from Shute Harbour through Jubilee Pocket, Airlie Beach and Cannonvale to Proserpine and also cover the areas of O’Connell River, Dingo Beach, Strathdickie, Lethebrook, Conway Beach, Wilson’s Beach and North Gregory.
New families into the area and families who have changed address, should complete an application form for an assessment of free school travel eligibility. Please obtain a copy of the Queensland Government Bus Travel Assistance Application Form, also available through the bus driver and at Whitsunday Transit’s office.

For students not eligible for free travel, Ten Trip Tickets / Term Passes are available from the Whitsunday Transit office.
