A message to New Parents
Starting secondary school or changing schools is a big step – for both students and parents.
We understand that many students may feel a little nervous about travelling independently or catching the school bus for the first time.
Our experienced drivers work closely with Swavesey Village College to help make every journey as safe, straightforward and enjoyable as possible.
Whether it’s their first day or their hundredth, our aim is to ensure every student travels with confidence, from the moment they step onto one of our buses.

Passenger Code of Conduct
Please take a few minutes to read our Passenger Code of Conduct with your child before they start travelling.
It explains:
-
how to use the school bus safely
-
what behaviour we expect before, during and after each journey
-
what students can expect from us.
Following these guidelines helps us provide a safe and enjoyable journey for everyone.
Please note: Serious or repeated breaches of the Passenger Code of Conduct may result in a student’s travel being suspended or withdrawn.
Frequently asked questions
We know starting a new school can be a busy time, so we’ve answered the questions we’re asked most often. If you can’t find the answer below, please get in touch—we’re always happy to help.
Why hasn’t my child received their bus pass?
If your child is starting Year 7:
-
Please make sure you’ve completed the application process.
-
Bus passes are sent by ShuttleID.
-
Check your spam or junk folder.
-
Passes are normally emailed towards the end of August, so please don’t worry if you haven’t received one yet.
My child is nervous about starting school. Can they travel with their friends?
We completely understand that starting a new school can be worrying.
Unfortunately, with over 800 students travelling on our buses, we cannot allocate seats or buses based on friendship groups.
Bus allocations are based on:
-
your registered home address (held by Cambridgeshire County Council)
-
available seats on each bus.
I’ve been told my child is on the waiting list. Will they get a place?
The waiting list is an automatic stage before buses are allocated.
If:
-
your application has been approved, and
-
transport has been authorised by the council,
your child will normally receive a bus pass before the start of the September term.
We’ve moved house. Will my child’s bus be changed automatically?
No.
You must tell Cambridgeshire County Council if you’ve moved.
The council decides transport eligibility based on your home address. If they aren’t informed, your child’s transport could be affected.
Can my child use last year’s bus pass?
No. A new bus pass is issued every academic year.
Please delete or discard last year’s pass. Existing students do not need to reapply unless their circumstances have changed.
Can you move my child onto a different bus?
Unfortunately, we cannot move students between buses simply so they can travel with friends.
Bus routes and service numbers can change each year depending on student numbers.
The council said my bus pass is in the post, but I haven’t received it.
Cambridge buses issues bus passes on behalf of Cambridgeshire County Council.
Bus passes are emailed to the registered email address we hold—they are not sent through the post.
Please also read the Passenger Code of Conduct before your child travels.
Why has my child’s bus changed?
Bus routes are reviewed every year.
As student numbers change and new housing developments are built, we sometimes need to change routes and bus allocations to make sure every eligible student has a seat.
