🚌💚💛 DRIVER APPRECIATION DAY! 💛💚🚌

A big THANK YOU to all our amazing Busabout drivers! 👏

Every morning you’re up before the sun, getting our passengers where they need to go — safely, patiently and with a friendly smile. ☀️

Whether it’s school runs, town services, busy afternoons or those “I’m sure the bus was meant to be here…” moments 😂 — you’re out there making it happen!

We appreciate the time, patience, professionalism and care you put into your job every single day. 🚌👏

And let’s be honest… driving a bus comes with its moments! 😂 From the early starts, the school run chaos, the “can you just squeeze one more person on?” requests, to answering the same question for the 47th time that day — you handle it all!

So today, we’re giving a huge shout-out to the people behind the wheel.

Thank you, drivers — we couldn’t do it without you! 💚💛

AND ON THAT NOTE… HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! 🌻

It’s the first weekend of spring, and there are some VERY happy people in the Busabout office who are more than ready for warmer weather! ☀️😎

Bring on the sunshine, longer days and fewer mornings where we question whether getting out of bed was really necessary. 😂

Have a great weekend everyone! 💚💛

😂 “HAPPY MONDAY!” — SAID NO ONE EVER… 😂

Well… the weekend was fun while it lasted. 😭

The alarm has gone off, school bags are packed, shoes have hopefully been found, and it’s time to do it all again! 🎒⏰

So, because Monday clearly needs some HOUSE RULES, here’s how we’re going to survive the week on our school buses: 👇

☕ Rule #1: Coffee first (for mums and dads only). Questions later. 😂
🚌 Rule #2: Be ready for the bus and wave to your driver! 👋
🤝 Rule #3: Be kind, respectful and use your manners.
🔊 Rule #4: Keep the bus noise at a reasonable level.
🪑 Rule #5: Stay seated and keep everyone safe.
❤️ Rule #6: Look after your mates.
📋 Rule #7: Listen to your driver and follow the Student Code of Conduct.
🚫 Rule #8: No bullying, pushing, fighting or carrying on like you’ve just won the Grand Final. 😂
🎒 Rule #9: Keep your bags with you and keep the aisles clear.
😎 Rule #10: Survive Monday… then countdown to Friday! 🎉

Happy Monday, Wagga! 🚌💚💛

Let’s have a safe, respectful and (hopefully) drama-free week!

Only FOUR sleeps until the weekend! 🎉😂

See you all Monday! 👋

🚌 THE OFFICIAL BUSABOUT GUIDE TO BUS ETIQUETTE
Written by your friendly local bus company 😂

After years of driving buses around Wagga, we’ve learnt a few things.

Roadworks. Fog. Traffic. Road closures. Lost property. And, of course, the mysterious appearance of three buses at once after you’ve been waiting for 20 minutes.

So, here it is…

📖 THE BUSABOUT GUIDE TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT
1. 🕐 THE TIMETABLE
The timetable says 8:05am.
We aim for 8:05am.
But sometimes 8:05am meets a red light, roadworks, school traffic, a road closure and someone doing 35km/h in an 80 zone.
Please know our drivers are trying. 😂

2. 🚧 ROADWORKS
If Wagga has roadworks, there is approximately a 97% chance our bus is going to find them.
If the road is closed with no warning?
Congratulations! 🎉
You’ve just unlocked the Busabout Scenic Tour of Wagga™.
Same destination. Slightly more sightseeing.

3. 🌫️ FOGGY MORNINGS
Sometimes Wagga wakes up looking like someone has forgotten to turn the graphics on.
Our drivers are out there peering through the fog like:
👀 “Is that a bus stop?”
👀 “Is that a tree?”
👀 “Is that Daz?”
Please give us a BIG wave when you see us coming!
It helps. A lot. 😂

4. 🚌 THE THREE-BUS PHENOMENON
You wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Then suddenly…
THREE BUSES.
Together.
Like they’ve been having a staff meeting somewhere.
We promise it isn't planned.
Probably. 🤷‍♀️

5. 🎒 LOST PROPERTY
Left your jumper on the bus?
Water bottle?
School bag?
Lunchbox?
One shoe?
A mysterious object nobody can identify?
Don't worry.
Our depot has basically become Storage Wars: Busabout Edition.
If you’ve lost something, give us a call. Your missing belongings may be sitting safely at the depot wondering why you abandoned them. 😂

6. 👋 THE BUS STOP WAVE
See the bus coming?
WAVE.
Not a tiny little finger twitch.
Not a subtle eyebrow movement.
A proper “YES, THAT’S MY BUS!” wave.
Our drivers aren't mind readers. 🚌😂

7. ❤️ THE GOLDEN RULE
Sometimes buses will be delayed.
Sometimes there will be fog.
Sometimes there will be roadworks.
Sometimes Wagga will throw an unexpected traffic obstacle at us just for fun.

But our drivers will always do their best to get you there safely.
So, thank you for travelling with us.

Busabout Wagga — keeping Wagga moving… one road work at a time. 😂💚💛
