Community Bus

Our community bus service is provided by a dedicated team of volunteers who can assist you on and off the bus and transport you to local shops, community centres, and libraries. The community bus is for anyone in the community however an assessment process will be completed before a resident's first trip to ensure safety.

Enjoy the ease of being picked up from your home with other residents in your community, allowing you to socialise and form friendships.

Our community buses are available to take you to your local shopping precinct. The bus allows you time to shop and run errands at the bank, post office, or library. Our buses travel to Brighton, Glenelg, and Marion every week.

• Buses to Glenelg run in the morning on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
• Buses to Brighton run in the morning on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Thursday afternoons fortnightly
• Buses to Marion run in the morning on alternate Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Anyone living in Holdfast Bay is welcome to catch the buses. If you have a My Aged Care referral for transport this transport is subsidised.

General bus fare - $3.80 one way/ Subsidised bus fare - $2.55 one way

When our buses are not in use, they are available for hire to local non-profit community groups. Hire is subject to bus and council-accredited volunteer driver availability.

All our community buses are fitted with seat belts for safety, and air conditioning/heating for your comfort. We have space for walkers, trolleys, and shopping bags (limited to two bags per passenger). A lifter is also fitted to some buses to accommodate residents using a wheelchair.

Volunteers offer personal transport services to residents who cannot drive or catch public transport to and from medical appointments, social activities, shopping precincts, etc.

This service is available at a subsidised rate with a current My Aged Care Transport Referral.

The personal transport service is available 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday. We require a minimum of four working days' notice for all bookings.

As this is a volunteer service, we cannot guarantee availability at the requested time.
