Bus Cost

We have endeavoured to make the cost as affordable as possible and we acknowledge financial assistance received from the State Government through the South Australia Regional Bus Grant program. The cost per journey is $2.50 for regular bookings (where a bus seat is booked for regular and frequent travel during the school term), with a further discount for daily AM/PM bookings or $4.00 per trip for casual travel.

Where seats are limited due to demand, the HILS Bus Service gives priority to regular users travelling on a daily basis (morning and afternoon).
