Yellow School Bus Service 2016/17

Changes to the application process

Changes to the application process

Please note that changes have been made to the application process for Yellow School Buses for the 2016/2017 academic year. 

Applications for Yellow School Bus services (where the service number is prefixed by the letter Y) will be dealt with according to pupils’ home location.  The application portal on the Transport for Greater Manchester’s website is open from 1 May and place allocation will start after 31 May.   Please be advised that, in order to maximise your chances of being issued with a pass, you will need to apply between these dates.  Late applications (June onward) will have a reduced chance of being successful.   Pupils must have the relevant Yellow School bus pass in order to be able to travel on the services.   Pupils should also be in possession of an “igo pass”.
