Transit

Students: RMWB Transit will be allowing students to use a SEPTEMBER bus pass on the transit for the dates of August 29th–31st.

• There is no need to purchase an August bus pass.

If you do not have your September 2023 bus pass, you will be expected to pay the full bus fare of $2.00/ride. 

The cost of a Student Transit Pass will be $51.25/month—the same as it was last year.

Bus passes will be available for purchase from the École McTavish Main Office during the first week of school.

GETTING ON AND OFF THE BUS
• Be safe while waiting – stand back from the curb so your bus can pull over safely.
• Form an orderly line when boarding your bus (front door), and let passengers exit first.
• Make sure you pay your fare ($2 or one ticket) or show your bus pass to the driver.
• Leave space for everyone; move to the back of the bus when boarding.
• Be courteous and allow your driver to concentrate on operating the bus – please don’t move
around when the bus is moving, and hold onto the handrails when standing.
• Exit from the back door and allow those with mobility needs to exit first.
