A range of new and improved bus services are now available on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) to boost public transport options for residents and tourists alike.
The service changes are part of the Queensland Government’s commitment to improving capacity and connectivity on the island and include an extension to route 881 from Amity Point to Dunwich, a new stop at Quandamooka Arts and Culture Centre, and additional services for route 880.
The changes include an additional route 880 services to connect to an earlier ferry arrival and a later ferry departure, providing more travel options for locals and tourists, and supporting evening opening hours for businesses.
Route 881 has also been extended to Dunwich, providing Amity Point residents and visitors with a convenient service to Dunwich and connections to ferries. The route now commences at One Mile ferry terminal, travelling via Junner Street ferry terminal and the Quandamooka Arts and Culture Centre before continuing to Amity Point.
This improvement will not only deliver a direct route for Amity Point residents travelling to Dunwich but also means visitors who travel on the Stradbroke Flyer to the island will have greater access to Dunwich attractions from One Mile ferry terminal.
A new seasonal timetable with additional services during school holidays, public holidays and weekends has also been introduced on route 880 to provide extra capacity between the ferry terminals and Point Lookout.
Adding additional services on route 880 will allow more visitors to experience North Stradbroke Island without the need to travel around the island in a private vehicle.
The improvements have been planned in partnership with local bus operator Bay Island Transit Systems (BITS) to better meet the needs of residents and visitors.
