Payment Options
The price quoted under fares is the total cost for the full academic year. Your deposit is taken off the total before you work out the amount and how you wish to pay. At the point of booking you have to decide if you wish to pay in Advance or by Monthly payments. In all cases an initial £70 none refundable deposit is required to secure your place. The Contract is for the full academic year regardless of how many times you use the bus and a valid Travel Pass must be shown to the driver at the start of each journey. It is therefore essential that you send a photograph to seats@ctsbus.co.uk so we can produce your travel pass. Please include the passengers name with the photograph. These are usually sent out just before schools break for the summer holidays.
Advance Payments
By deciding to pay in advance you save £80. This is because we have less administration costs and do not need to be checking payment allocations on a monthly basis. To take advantage of this offer you must pay £700 by the 31st August and the balance of £700 by the 1st February. If your first payment or your final balance is not received on time a reminder letter will be sent and you will be invoiced £20 per letter for late payment charges and administration costs. If your balance is not clear by the 2nd February you will be invoiced a further £80 and your account switched to monthly terms. If this happens the final balance must be cleared by the 31st May.
Monthly Payments
You can choose to spread the cost of travel over 10 months. If you choose to do so then after your deposit, you must pay £148 by the 31st August then 9 equal monthly payments ( September to May) of £148 to clear your balance with the last payment being completed by the 31st May. Any reminder letters sent, if your payment is late will be charged at £20 per letter. These will be invoiced to your account for late payment charges and administration costs. You have entered into a fixed term contract and all payments must be made.
Parents should view and discuss the Code of Practice with their children prior to using the bus. The Travel Pass is an important part of the contract and must be shown to the driver when boarding the bus both in the morning and afternoon. Replacement passes can be provided when a Travel Pass is lost, but there is a charge of £5 for each replacement pass.
It is important that you make CTS Bus aware of any special needs that we should know about regarding the use of the school buses. Including mobility, medical or any other factors for which we might have to offer assistance. We are an inclusive organisation who will at all times work to treat everyone equally.
It is advisable to have an emergency plan for if you miss the bus. They do not wait for passengers and pupils should ensure they leave school on time in the afternoon so as not to miss the bus. There is no provision for transport for after school activities or when a delay may be caused by detention or other external factors.
Morning Snow or early school closures that may delay or cause the buses to be cancelled will be advised by Text to those affected and a notice placed on our web site. Please do not call our office or out of hours number before 07:00 to check if the buses are running due to overnight snow. We will not be able to give you an answer untill the text messages and web site notice has been issued. If we do not run a service in the morning due to weather we DO NOT run the afternoon journey as well. This is to deter parents taking risks to get children to school who might then expect us to collect them in the afternoon. We do bring everyone home if the school has to close early due to weather and we liase closely with school and will advise parents of our planned departure time when ever it is necessary to return early from school.
All lost property is taken to the bus depots at the end of the shift. Where possible we try to return things on the bus route on the next available journey. So if anything is lost the first thing to do is check with your driver. Items remaining unclaimed at the end of the week are returned to school or held for 1 month at our offices. After 1 month items are disposed of and cannot be reclaimed.
An emergency phone number is included on the back of every travel pass. This enables each passenger to seek help or advise if they have a concern or problem on the bus. It is answered by our Safeguarding Lead, who will assist and is tasked to deal with any issues raised.
Where reference is made to a Departure Date, that is the end date of the annual contract and is usually dated as the end of July each Year. The buses operate on all Term Dates as shown on each of the schools web sites.
