Blackfriars operates two school bus services, under contract with Link SA, using Blackfriars-branded coaches.

Services operate mornings and afternoons, stopping at any Adelaide Metro network yellow bus stop along the designated routes. Tuesday and Thursday afternoon services have a late departure time during co-curricular training weeks.

Fares for the Blackfriars / LinkSA services are based on Adelaide MetroCard pricing and ticketed directly by Blackfriars via the BusMinder App. Families are required to register their interest in using these services by contacting Blackfriars Registrar Linda Gavranic on 8169 3954 or email.
