School Transport
How School Transport Works
Managed by SSL: Regional blue buses handle school travel between different towns.
Municipal networks: Local city buses fill gaps within specific municipal borders.
Aligned schedules: Bus times are coordinated with school start and finish times.
Bus Passes and Schedules
Free passes: Municipalities fund free electronic school bus cards for long-distance students.
Application: Parents must request a bus card from their child’s school office.
Seasonal changes: Timetables vary by season, and school transport does not run during school holidays.
