South Burnett Regional Council has released a new route and timetable for the Kingaroy “Get on Board” Bus Service.
“The Get on Board bus service has been trialled for five months and we have made a few changes to accommodate requests from regular users of the service,” Council Manager of Business and Economic Development Phil Harding said
“Council received some feedback that residents would like the bus service to be one continual route. We also received requests that it would be convenient if the route included the Harvey Norman and Mitre 10 precinct.”
Mr Harding said a new flyer with the route and timetable had been prepared.
A letterbox drop to all Kingaroy residents is being conducted this month.
“Council encourages residents to use this service which is subsidised by the Queensland Government,” Mr Harding said.
Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said the bus service was supported by the Council, State Government and Pursers Coaches.
“This service ensures our residents are not housebound. It gives everyone the freedom to get out and about,” he said.
“We have funding for this service for two years and we are open to making necessary changes to ensure
we have the maximum number of people using it
“Ongoing funding is reliant on increasing the number of people using the Get on Board bus service. If you haven’t yet used this service I would recommend you visit Council’s website for times.”
