Since Busways took over Region 7 buses (the buses that service the Lane Cove Council Area), there have been complaints of buses being delayed or not turning up.
Now, Busways have advised that from 8 December 2025, some school bus services to North Sydney schools will be discontinued as part of a simplification of the bus network.
Changes affect the following schools:
- Anzac Park Public School
- Cammeray Public School
- Cammeraygal High School (Junior & Senior Campuses)
- Loreto – Kirribilli (Junior & Middle Schools)
- Marist Catholic College (La Valla & St Mary’s Campuses)
- Monte Sant’ Angelo Mercy College
- North Sydney Boys High School
- North Sydney Girls High School
- North Sydney Public School
- Shore School
- St Aloysius’ College (Senior Campus)
- Wenona School
