Buses
Bus Services
The College privately charters bus routes for our students, and our campuses may be accessed by numerous public services. Collectively, these services cover a broad area, including the Barossa, Mid North, Light Regional, northern suburbs, Adelaide Plains, and Gawler.
Bus services are supported through a subsidy from the College to keep fares as low as possible.
Please read the General Information document for procedures on days of catastrophic fire rating and expected student behaviour.
Please direct enquiries about buses to [email protected].
BusMinder Cards
Transitioning to Kanga Coachlines commencing Term 3 2025
From the start of Term 3, all College‑chartered bus services will be operated by Kanga Coachlines, providing the ability to utilise the BusMinder booking system.
Routes currently serviced by LinkSA that are changing to Kanga Coachlines are:
- Evanston to Two Wells Campus
- Gawler Belt Campus to Two Wells Campus
- Clare to Gawler Belt Campus (North Route)
- Elizabeth to Gawler Belt Campus (West Route)
- Angle Vale Loop (Thursday PM only)
If you currently use the services above, you will now require a BusMinder card. Xavier College is providing a replacement BusMinder card for free during this transition. Please collect your new card from the Front Office. Future new or replacement cards must be ordered via Qkr!
BusMinder cards are used to catch Kanga Coachlines buses.
Similar to a Metrocard, BusMinder cards are conveniently recharged online and fares (credit) are deducted as students tap on and off the bus.
BusMinder cards are purchased for $8 through the Qkr! app and collected from the Front Office. Bus fares are purchased through the BusMinder Parent app. Seats are limited to availability and must be purchased prior to travel.
