Transportation

Yellow bus service to Rutherford School is provided from the communities of Cloverdale, Idylwylde, and Strathearn.    Regular program yellow bus service is provided in neighbourhoods without a local school, but only where:

• the walk distance to the designated school is excessive, and
• ETS service is not available or adequate.

Eligibility

To be eligible for regular program yellow bus service a student must:

• attend the regular program at their designated school
• live outside of the walk boundary
• live within the bus service area
• be in K - Grade 6 (or K - 12 in areas where ETS service does not meet standards).

Bus Routes and Stop Locations

Yellow bus routes serving students in the regular program are called fixed routes. Students on fixed bus routes walk a short distance (usually less than 400 metres) from home to a nearby ETS stop or intersection.

Ride Times

The ride may be up to 60 minutes one-way, but most students are on the bus for 15 to 35 minutes. Students living in rural or outlying area may be on the bus longer than 60 minutes.
