Tatachilla Lutheran College provides a bus service to and from school within the southern Adelaide region.

Buses arrive at the college by 8.30am and depart the college at 3.35pm. 

All available Tatachilla bus routes can be viewed on our live bus map.

The college uses the BusMinder system, which using the latest in GPS and smartcard technology to provide both the school and caregivers with proof of travel for every student trip.

This means that parents have access to real-time information on the location of their child at all times during their bus journey, including when they board and disembark. Using BusMinder, caregivers are able to tell if their child misses the bus, boards the wrong bus or disembarks at the wrong location. 

All students who use the college bus service are set up with a BusMinder account and parent and caregivers can then use the BusMinder Parent app to manage fare payments and track their child's bus commute each day.
