A one- off £15 family subscription to join the Association is required.
Payment for the bus pass is a term in advance (cost is currently equivalent to £2.75 per day).
A £100 deposit is needed to secure a place on the bus (returnable at the end of the period of use provided that a term's notice is given).
The Biggleswade & District Bus Association is run by Parent Volunteers for parents whose children attend Bedford School, Bedford High School, Bedford Modern School, Dame Alice Harpur School, Rushmoor School and St Andrew' s School.
The Association currently operates three dedicated bus routes
855 - Potton via Gamlingay & Sandy to Bedford 865 - Wrestlingworth via Biggleswade & Cople to Bedford 875 - Godmanchester via Kimbolton & Wyboston to Bedford
This is a non- profit making Parents Association so the cost of the bus pass is determined by the number of pupils that use the service divided by the number of school days. Therefore the more pupils that use each bus, the cheaper the bus pass. Current high uptake is enabling the association to offer bus passes at particularly competitive rates.
The price also includes a number of other important benefits:
The pass can be used on other Stagecoach buses to and from Bedford to bus stops close to the boarding points, especially useful for pupils attending after- school activities and during periods of exam leave
