Community Transport & Bus Service

A community bus service

Mobility helps maintain connection, and we know how important it is for all residents of the City of Canada Bay Council area to have easy and accessible transport.

We operate our Bayrider Service on Wednesday and Thursday.

This door-to-door community shuttle bus service helps people stay active and independent in the community. It is especially helpful for people who have difficulty using private or public transport.

How

This is how it works

To deliver this vital service we utilise our nine-seater bus as well as volunteer cars. Our bus is driven by paid, qualified drivers who provide quality customer service. The volunteers assist using their own cars in delivering the service when scheduling becomes difficult for the bus to accommodate busy timetables.
