November 7th, 2025More buses for Gisborne

The state government is making it easier for Gisborne residents to get to school, work and shops, thanks to dozens of new bus services on popular local routes.

Minister for Public and Active Transport Gabrielle Williams has announced 66 extra trips each week will be added to routes 73 and 74 from Sunday, 16 November – extending services until later in the afternoon on Saturdays and Sundays.

This will make it easier to enjoy a weekend night out in Gisborne, as well as providing more connections to Gisborne Central Shopping Centre, local schools, medical clinics, aged care centres and Gisborne Train Station.

These increased travel options, particularly on weekends, will enhance connections for residents who want to connect to a train service to visit the Melbourne CBD for evening events or a night at the footy and return to Gisborne on the same day.

These uplifts continue last year’s upgrade to the Gisborne network, which saw the creation of a more flexible bus network for Gisborne with more services, longer hours and improved coverage of new estates and more schools.
