School Travel Passes<\/strong>

Applications are now open for 2026 School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS) travel. 

Students in the Opal network applying for an Opal card (including a Term Bus Pass) for the first time will receive their School Opal card at their nominated postal address from mid-January 2026.

Students who require a School Opal card or travel pass but have not yet applied need to<\/a> apply<\/a> for a new card or update<\/a> their existing card as soon as possible. Students who receive a notification that their School Opal card is expiring need to re-submit<\/a> their details. 

If a student has lost their School Opal card, they will need to <\/a>apply for a replacement card<\/a>. Note: <\/strong>a new card will not be issued if an existing School Opal card is updated online \u2013 you must submit a replacement<\/a> application if a School Opal card is lost.

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<\/a> to discuss their travel needs.

Students living in rural and regional areas will receive their travel pass from their nominated transport operator. It may be issued via their school or be sent directly to them at home. Note<\/strong>: some rural and regional operators do not issue travel passes. Students\/parents should confirm with their nominated operator if they do not receive a pass.

Terms of Use<\/strong>

Students using School Opal cards must tap on and tap off<\/strong> in line with the Opal terms of use<\/a>.

This includes travel within the approved times between 6.30am and 7.00pm from 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<\/a>. 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.Mail sent from the Stakeholder Liaison Team, Customer Technology.
