School Transport

GEMS Wellington Academy – Silicon Oasis aims to provide a high quality transportation service. Our air-conditioned buses, fitted with seat belts in all seats in operation. Each bus has a driver and conductor. Each bus has a mobile phone on board to enable contact with parents in case of any delays. CCTV is installed in all buses.

Although a complete 'door to door' service can't be guaranteed our school bus will collect and drop students as close as possible to their residences.
