Applications are now open for 2027 SSTS travel

Applications are now open for 2027 School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) travel.

Students must re-apply or update their details as soon as possible if they:

are changing schools or campus location
are changing home address
are repeating a year
have received an expiry notification for their school travel entitlement.

If a student has lost their School Opal card, they will need to apply for a replacement card. Note: a new card will not be issued if an existing School Opal card is updated online – you must submit a replacement application if a School Opal card is lost.

School Opal cards

Students in the Opal network applying for an Opal card (including a Term Bus Pass) for the first time will receive their card at their nominated postal address from mid-January 2027.

In the Opal network, students should travel with a Child/Youth Opal card until they receive their valid School Opal card. If outside Greater Sydney, parents should contact their local bus operator to discuss their travel needs.

Terms of use

Students using School Opal cards must tap on and tap off in line with the Opal terms of use. Not tapping can result in penalties or losing access to free travel. Tap on and tap off data also helps Transport for NSW and operators understand how many students use each service. If students don’t tap, services may appear underused, which can lead to cuts or cancellations.

School Opal cards allow travel between school and home, within the approved times of 6.30am to 7.00pm, Monday to Friday on school days only. Students must use their Child/Youth Opal card for any travel outside these times.

All students are required to comply with the Student code of conduct. The code of conduct aims to ensure the safety and well-being of school children and other passengers. It is important that parents ensure their child is aware of this, as failure to comply with the code of conduct can result in a suspension from travel.

The NSW Government has announced that proposed timetable changes for the T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra, South Coast, T8 Airport and South Line and T2 Leppington & Inner West lines will not proceed following feedback from passengers and local communities.

The existing train timetable will remain in place, as we prioritise reliability and performance across the network. Transport will continue engaging with communities and passengers to help shape future service improvements.

Passengers can continue to use Trip Planner as normal, with journey information remaining current and accurate.
