Reduced services
Due to staff availability, there may be changes to some public transport services. With a large number of staff isolating, some services may need to be cancelled over the next few weeks as we work to balance timetable requirements with staff availability.
Labour Day Public Holiday
The Labour Day public holiday falls on Monday 14 March 2022. Public transport services will run to a Saturday timetable, but some services may be altered or will not run.
Major works this autumn
Works continue on some of the state’s biggest transport projects this summer. Critical maintenance works will also take place on our rail, tram and road networks to ensure services continue to run reliably.
