Changes are being introduced to school bus services in the West Dapto area to reduce some journey times and improve travel for students.
Member for Shellharbour Anna Watson said timetable and route changes will come into effect, that’ll significantly shorten some school journeys.
These changes will see students spend less time on buses, with estimated reductions in travel times ranging from 17 to 52 minutes.
The amended services starting on 8 December 2025 will benefit Dapto Public School and St
John’s Primary School students.
Students who catch the altered bus services may have different boarding and alighting
times, different arrival and departure times, changed routes and a new route number.
The upcoming school bus service changes in the West Dapto area are:
The morning S083 service from Kembla Grange to Dapto Public School via
Wongawilli will be rerouted and will have a timetable change.
The morning S195 service from Kembla Grange to St John’s Public School will be
altered and will have a route number change (S195 will become S274).
The morning S086 service from Horsley to Dapto Public School will have a timetable
change.
The afternoon S191 service from St Joseph’s High School to St John’s Public School
will be rerouted and will have a timetable change.
The afternoon S189 service from St Joseph’s High School to Port Kembla will have a
timetable change.
These service changes will remain in place for the duration of the West Dapto Road closure,
which is expected to continue until around mid-2026.
