Bus Service

BIS runs a daily bus service to campus from Kota Baru as a convenience to our students and their families living that area.

We are looking to expand our morning transportation starting in November 2019, to include a “Dago Shuttle” serving students in the Dago area.

This daily transportation service runs only in the mornings and is open to students of all ages. At the moment, there is not an afternoon shuttle service as many students join our extracurricular program.

If you are interested in using the BIS Bus Service from Kota Baru or Dago or have a request for a new bus route, please contact Admissions: 08112142400.
