We’re working hard behind the scenes to ensure that you can travel as safely as possible and we’ve put together some helpful information for pupils or parents with children heading back to school and travelling by bus.
Before you board, please make sure have your face covering on and you've followed the Scottish Governments FACTS public health information. If you’re travelling to school by bus, the driver will ask you to sit at the back of the bus along with other school pupils.
It’s really important that you follow the instructions given to you by the driver and that you wear a face covering while you're on board - please don't take it off until you leave the bus.
Please remember to ring the bell when you're about to reach your stop, the driver will stop for you so that you don’t have to queue to leave the bus. This helps to keep you and other passengers on board safe.
From Monday 31st August 2020, school pupils and children over 5 must wear a face covering when travelling by bus. We understand that not everyone can wear a face covering – and that’s OK! Let the driver know you're exempt by showing your Thistle card which can be displayed on your mobile when you downloaded the Thistle App.
