Bus Brokerage

The bus brokerage program is being developed in partnership with Canterbury City Council and SmartLink Transport. The aim of the project is to provide local community groups increased access to buses available in and around their local community.

Local community groups must register to become a member of the scheme. Once registered you will be able to request a vehicle from the bank of buses & cars listed on the register.

Canturbury City Council Bus Hire Subsidy Scheme

Together with Canterbury City Council, Inner West Community Transport has limited funds available to assist local disadvantaged community groups from the Canterbury region with subsidised bus hire through the Smartlink Transport Register.

The subsidy is available, upon request for financially disadvantaged and transport disadvantaged community groups based in, or predominantly providing service to, residents of the Canterbury local government area. Both full and partial subsidies are available. Partial subsidy will be considered where organisations can cover part of the hire cost.

The subsidy available is applicable to bus hire through the Smartlink Transport Register only. Private bus hire arranged outside of the Smartlink Transport Register will not be subsidised.
