Jacqui Gilmour shared her parental concerns on Perth Live as she explained told Oliver Peterson a twice-a-day bus route that takes students to schools in Kalamunda has been cut due to the new airport train line.

Students have been directed to take the train first and then a bus, creating big delays for some students.

"It is a bit disappointing as the service has been running for 50 years and suddenly it's gone," she told Oly.

The 229 bus route which runs from Elizabeth Quay up Great Eastern Hwy, is just one of the busses that have been terminated, leaving students from Kalamunda High School, St Brigids College and Mazenod College having to find a new way to school.

"Plenty of students hop on the bus on the way up the hill on Kalamunda Road, the kids stand like sardines on the last little segment towards Kalamunda Station.

"It's about a 50 minute journey from getting the bus to getting to school and they're now suggesting we add another 30 minutes to that."
