Ipswich bus timetable changes

Last reviewed: Monday 24 Jun 2024 at 9.11am

On Monday 24 June, the timetables of 17 Ipswich bus services were updated to make them more accurate and reliable. 

We also improved access to Ripley Satellite Hospital, with new stops for route 531 (Springfield Central to Yamanto via Ripley).

What's changed? 

  • Timing adjustments to better reflect traffic conditions and actual travel times. 
  • Minor changes for start and end times throughout the day. 
  • Some changes for connections to other buses and trains (we've tried to prioritise services headed to Brisbane and Ipswich where possible). 
  • Simplified handheld timetables - some stop names have been removed, but services will still run, and you can access full timetable information online.

Please plan your journey or check your new timetable to see how the changes affect you.

The new stops are located at:

  • Ripley Road at Wensley Road (Ecco Ripley)
  • Providence Parade at Ripley Satellite Hospital.

Keep a lookout for more stops opening in the coming months at:

  • Ripley Road at Trigona Drive, Ripley (Hayfield)
  • Barrams Road at Olympus Drive, South Ripley
  • Sandstone Boulevard, South Ripley

We are planning further improvements for the route 531 service throughout Ripley and South Ripley with details still being finalized.
