Bus Tickets
Hall Middle School partners with Marin Transit Authority to coordinate transportation to and from school. Bus service will begin on the first day of school and changes have been made to support transportation to Corte Madera. This change will divide up students traveling to the East and West side of Corte Madera. For students that live on the west side of Highway 101, you will now take the Route 613 bus leaving in front Hall at 3:08 pm MTThF. Students who reside on the east side of Highway 101 will take the Route 29 bus (across the street at Doherty and Larkspur Plaza Dr.) at 3:18 pm MTThF. On Wednesdays, all students will take the Route 613 bus leaving at 1:58 pm. We hope this information is helpful and supports our Cougars getting to school! Temporary bus passes will be available at Cougar Prep day, and more information will be provided!
In an effort to allow all students access to public transit, Larkspur- Corte Madera School District will once again offer families a subsidy on Youth Tickets and the Marin Youth Pass which serve all local routes. New this year: The bus also serves Redwood and there will be multiple drop-off/pick-up times before and after school. Please review the schedule with your child and decide when he/she should take the bus to/from school.

Bus passes are available for purchase on Cougar Prep Day before school starts and in the school office thereafter.

Youth Pass Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Q. What if I lose my bus pass?
A. Replacement ID cards are $5 and replacement bus stickers are $10. Please bring cash or a check payable to "Hall Middle School" to the office.
If a student ID is lost or stolen, that student would first need to obtain a new student ID from his/her school. Once the student has a new student ID card, he/she will have to request a new Youth Pass sticker from the designated Youth Pass coordinator. Students should be aware that there is a $10 fee to replace a lost Youth Pass sticker. This fee may be waived for stolen student IDs when students are able to document the theft with a police or school security report. Please note that only one replacement sticker can be issued per student per semester.
