Wyndham students will soon find it easier to catch the bus to school following the upcoming launch of a new service connecting them directly to Werribee Secondary College.
Public Transport minister Ben Carroll said the additional service will provide students living in the Riverwalk Estate with a reliable public transport option.
“This significant investment will improve local bus services in growth areas like Werribee, and ensure people get where they need to go, when they need to go,” Mr Carroll said.
“Having dependable and consistent public transport options is vital in connecting students and other locals to their broader community – that is why we are providing a new alternative to these students for the first time.”
The service will run in line with school bell times during the morning and afternoon peaks is expected to commence at the start of Term 2 2023.
Two new pairs of bus stops will be built in the Riverwalk Estate, on Alfred Road and Coldstream Avenue, and one existing stop will be upgraded for safety outside Werribee Secondary College.
“This new service is a significant win for the Werribee Secondary College community – giving students a convenient way to get to and from school,” Werribee MP Tim Pallas said.
“New bus stops in the Riverwalk Estate and an upgrade at the school bus stop are terrific improvements that will be well used.”
