Network Reviews
Bus network reviews are part of State Transit's service program to improve bus services for our customers. State Transit designs its bus routes and timetables so that they are simple to understand, frequent, direct, reliable and accessible to the majority of the community.
Adjustments to our services are based on regional research and analysis of data including:
- Transport data
- Demographic data
- Ticket data
- Market research
- Local and regional land use planning strategies
- Service performance data.
Extensive community consultation with stakeholders and the community is an important part of State Transit’s service reviews and considerable care is taken to ensure that our services reflect the needs and wishes of the greatest number of passengers and residents.
Adjustments are intended to match current levels of demand and provide:
- Direct and faster transport links
- Reliable and frequent services
- Improved services to growing residential, employment and commercial areas.
As part of our service review process, State Transit will endeavour to notify all customers who may be affected by a change using local newspapers, direct mail, notices on the bus and on this website. Proposed changes in our Network Review Program will be published on this website, giving customers the opportunity to have their say.
