Consultation for the new network
A community consultation period will run from April to June 2020 to seek community feedback on the increase in service frequency, new Go Zones and other proposed changes.
The changes will be started following the commencement of the new contracts in early July 2020, with changes to be implemented from later 2020 and into 2021 across the different service areas.
A dedicated website will be available for customers to view proposed service and network changes and to provide their comments on specific detail or on changes as a whole.
Consultation information presented to customers will be in the form of proposed network frequency and format, including proposed route and bus stop changes. Detailed timetables will not be available for consultation.
Once the consultation period closes, expert transport planners will review feedback and, where possible, investigate amendments to the proposed network based on customer feedback.
As a result, the final version of the network may be different from what is initially presented.
More information about the new network will be made available as we progress to community consultation.
