Hail & Ride, Safely on Bay & Basin Buses


We have small wins for our Public Transport Bus community. This may be insignificant to some of our readers/bus commuters. Yet small changes mean a better change in the larger picture, which is definitely significant, to others.

The small win is here on the 'Hail & Ride' bus services. Both Bus Operators Nowra Coaches and Shoal Bus Services have got this policy in place, on their timetables. One of them is recently. Did you know about it?


This information will be updated in the future timetables from Nowra Coaches. Information on 'hail and ride' is listed below:


Hail & Ride

All bus services operate Hail & Ride. Please stand in a safe place for the bus to stop and signal the driver as the bus approaches. To exit the bus please tell the driver when you board where you would like to alight, and the driver will stop as close as possible to your desired location.



You must carry your pensioner concession entitlement card at all times as proof of entitlement when travelling with a concession card, or travelling in regional/rural NSW.  Digitalised copies are not accepted for discount.



So, I would like to personally 'Thank’ the Management of Nowra Coaches/Premier Motor Service for introducing 'Hail & Ride' on their timetables which you can obtain from their website or from Jervis Bay Tourist Information:


From Shoal Bus (Timetables): 
Hail Driver For Your Ride




*
Hail and Ride operate on all our services. All you need to do to catch the bus is to stand in a safe place and clearly signal the driver in a safe location for the bus to stop.

* This is not the Shoal Bus image on the timetables

Fares are set by Transport so any changes are out of our control, however as per the link to the fare prices I sent you, the current prices are effective until 31 December 2025.  We do not have the Opal system here so it would only impact passengers using the train service or people travelling in areas with Opal.
