PTV Service Update

April 14, 2022

    Easter Long Weekend

    Public transport services will operate to a public holiday timetable on Good Friday and Easter Monday, but some services may be altered or will not run. Services will run to a normal Saturday timetable on Easter Saturday and a normal Sunday timetable on Easter Sunday.

    Major works this autumn

    Works continue on some of the state’s biggest transport projects this autumn. Critical maintenance works will also take place on our rail, tram and road networks to ensure services continue to run reliably. 
    There’ll be disruptions to the public transport and road networks while these works take place. Be sure to plan ahead and allow extra time or take an alternative route if possible.
