From Monday 2 December, route 250 will be realigned in response to community feedback to bring you a safer, more direct journey and improved ferry connections.
While this means some stops will be removed, we’re opening five new stops in better locations along Marine Parade, Armand Way, and Kelly Street.
Plus, we’re permanently reopening the stop on Armand Way.
Check the map and table below for your best stop alternatives.
There’ll also be minor timetable changes to provide better ferry connections.
Please replan your travel using a date from Monday 2 December or check your updated timetable to see how your journey is affected.
For more information, please visit Townsville City Council's website.
