"Jared and the team at Urban Legends were absolutely amazing. We used 2 of their large buses to transport our guests. They made the process easy and they were professional, friendly and punctual on the day. The vehicles were in brilliant condition."

School transport, sorted

School bus hire in Sydney, safe and reliable.

When a class, a team or a whole year group needs to be somewhere on time, the transport cannot be the thing that goes wrong. You need a bus that turns up early, a driver you can trust around students, and one person who answers the phone. Urban Legends has been moving Sydney groups since 2016, on our own modern NSW fleet of 14, 18, 27, 41 and 57-seat coaches, and school excursion transport is a big part of what we do.

This is safe, reliable charter for schools and education. You get the coach and a professional accredited driver, door to door from the school gate, and the run goes to your timetable. Excursions and education day tours, sports carnivals and gala days, formals and graduations, university and TAFE trips, and multi-day school camps. One driver, one point of contact, one clear GST tax invoice for the school.

We know transporting students has specific requirements. We are fully insured with professional accredited drivers, and we work with schools to meet their transport requirements, including driver Working With Children Checks and the relevant Transport for NSW accreditation. Just ask and we will confirm exactly what is needed for your booking and sort the paperwork for your excursion or procurement process. We already carry groups for the Royal Australian Navy, the Department of Defence, universities and colleges, so the reliability is proven.

Heading somewhere good for the excursion? We run groups out to the Blue Mountains and across NSW, and we do school snow trips to the alpine fields in winter. For the full picture of what we run across the city, see our Sydney bus hire options.

Whatever the excursion, email Jared with your dates, student and supervisor numbers and pickup, and your quote is back to you within 24 hours.

For a whole year group, a carnival squad or a big excursion we run a 57-seater or combine vehicles from our own fleet so the whole group travels together. Tell us your headcount, including teachers and supervisors, and we will match the right coach and never squeeze a group in tight.
Are your drivers checked and accredited for transporting school children?
Urban Legends is fully insured and our drivers are professional and accredited. We understand that transporting students has specific requirements, including driver Working With Children Checks and the relevant Transport for NSW accreditation, and we work with schools to meet their transport requirements. Just ask and we will confirm exactly what is needed for your booking and provide the relevant details for your school's procurement or excursion paperwork.
Do you do excursions, formals and school camps?
Yes. Excursions and education day tours, sports carnivals and gala days, formals and graduations, university and TAFE trips and multi-day school camps are all everyday work for us. We can do a single drop-off and pickup, a full day with multiple stops, or a multi-day camp where the coach and driver stay with your program. Send us the plan and we will build the transport around it.
Can you pick up from the school gate?
Yes. Door-to-door, from the school gate or campus straight to the excursion, the carnival, the venue or the camp, and back again. We collect right across Greater Sydney, the CBD, North Shore, Parramatta and Western Sydney, Macquarie Park, the Sutherland Shire, the Eastern Suburbs and the Northern Beaches, and we travel beyond Sydney for camps, the Blue Mountains, the snow and country excursions.
Do you do multi-day school camps and tours?
Yes. For a school camp or a multi-day education tour the coach and driver can stay with your group across the whole program, getting students between the accommodation, the activities and back to school at the end.

Do you do sports carnivals and gala days?
We do. Getting a team, a squad or a whole cohort to the carnival, the gala day or the venue and back on time is one of our regular school runs. There is room for gear and equipment on board, and one driver who knows the run keeps the day on schedule. One coach for the team, or a combination of vehicles for a big sports day.
