TRANSPORTATION At TIGS, we understand the importance of having accessible and readily available transportation options. As a result, TIGS offers multiple transportation services to ease the everyday school commute. Students have the option of travelling to school in a private vehicle, utilising public transport or riding on one of our fleet of TIGS private buses.
