Growing areas of Geelong and the Surf Coast are set to gain new bus services next month.
Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams says an extra 500 weekly services will be introduced, including new services targeting Torquay, Charlemont and Armstrong Creek.
The region will also see 54 new accessible bus stops.
Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams said it was an essential service for the growing region.
“Across Victoria we are delivering a modern and more efficient bus network so that more people choose to take the bus,” she said.
“The new bus network will provide more bus services, more often, to both existing and new growth areas in Torquay, Charlemont and Armstrong Creek, giving locals and visitors more reasons to leave the car at home.”
It’s also been announced between Torquay, Armstrong Creek and Geelong will be strengthened with a regular and direct service to Moorabool Street, Geelong, with the expanded network also offering increased evening and weekend hours.
New timetables for the services are available through the PTV website.
