FOR the first time, all NSW regional bus passengers can access real-time bus travel information from their smart devices.
All 3,010 contracted buses across rural and regional NSW, which collectively cover more than 3,880 routes and around 316,000 kilometres per day, are now fitted out with GPS and automatic passenger counting technology.
Passengers are now able to:
– Track their bus in real-time using any travel app, including Opal Travel or via Transport for NSW’s Trip Planner website
– Get arrival times and capacity information
– Access interactive maps, digital timetables, and route information
– Plan journeys through Transport for NSW’s Trip Planner
Roads and Regional Transport Minister Jenny Aitchison said, “As someone who represents a regional community, I know how frustrating it is for regional commuters and public transport users who feel left behind when it comes to accessing real-time data. No matter where you live in NSW, you deserve the same quality public transport experience.”
