Better, more frequent bus connections
As part planning for the Sunshine Coast Public Transport and Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line projects, TMR is looking to introduce new bus routes, additional trips and longer operating hours to continue to improve connections between stations, key destinations and areas across the Sunshine Coast.
This improved bus network will connect the community to stations and stops for the North Coast Line, the Sunshine Coast Public Transport project and Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line.
TMR will provide convenient connections to major centres and popular destinations, including:
- University of the Sunshine Coast
- Sunshine Coast University Hospital
- Nambour, Landsborough and the wider Sunshine Coast hinterland
- Sunshine Coast Airport
- north to Yandina, Cooroy, Coolum and Noosa.
The benefits of improved public transport infrastructure and services on the coastal and centre corridors will extend to the broader region.
Planning future bus connections across the coast
Translink undertakes a rigorous process when planning and reviewing networks. Using previous customer feedback and go card data to understand travel patterns, key destinations and surrounding infrastructure projects, Translink is working towards creating a network that best meets the needs of the majority of the community while still providing value for money.
What bus service improvements would you like to see on the Sunshine Coast?

if frequency cannot be increased, more thought needed for timing and transfers between services - taking pt can take 3x longer than driving

A hinterland fleet of frequent [or call demand] small electric buses for efficiency & could reduce car dependency across rural communities.

Reduce hinterland car dependency with a direct 30min bus service along Yandina-Coolum Rd giving beach access minus the current 2hr bus ride.

buses on the coast only get people to the city centre during peak hour. need more connecting routes so it is a viable alternative to driving

Please go back to cash on buses. Visitors don't know about go cards and there are limited retailers. It causes endless issues.

Please provide bus stops along Eumundi Noosa Road - Route 630 could be better utilised if it provided stops & more services along this route

1hr frequency on any service around peak hour is unacceptable. sugar rd is congested and car infested, yet only serviced hourly by 614

610 absolutely chockers around school time, kids standing in the stairwell, very dangerous. higher frequency needed around peak times.
