Fourteen bus stops will be closed and replaced with 15 full-time bus stops located on King Street, Honeysuckle Drive and Wharf Road.
“There will be people on the ground to assist customers at peak times over the first few days of the change and a comprehensive suite of supporting materials, both on site and online,” Keolis Downer Hunter CEO, Campbell Mason said.
“Signage will be put up, and customers will also have access to a detailed information brochure that breaks down which bus stops are closing and where the new bus stops will be.”
“This is a far better outcome than changing bus routes every few weeks during construction, which would cause confusion and be more disruptive for customers.”
Commuters can plan their trip at newcastletransport.info, by calling 131500, or by using transport apps, which will be updated to reflect the new routes.
