Hop on the Free Holiday Buses and skip the hassle of parking this Easter.

From Friday, 3 April to Sunday 12 April, travel will be free on all local Noosa Sunbus services (with the exception of routes 620, 622, 630 and 631).

Council officially launched the Easter Free Holiday Buses initiative at Noosa Junction today, with help from the Easter Bunny.

More than 32,000 people climbed aboard the free services last Easter.

“We’re pleased to be able to deliver this initiative in cooperation with Sunbus and TransLink,” says Council Planning and Infrastructure Director Martin Drydale.

“The free holiday buses help reduce traffic congestion in Noosa and encourage residents and visitors to give public transport a try.

“Last Easter more than 32,000 people boarded the Free Holiday Buses, and more than 43,000 hopped on at Christmas which shows just how popular this initiative is.”

Free services include:

Regular services:

Route 626 - Sunrise Beach to Tewantin
Route 627 - Sunshine Beach to Tewantin
Route 628 - Noosa Junction to Noosa Parklands
Route 629 - Noosa Junction to Tewantin
Route 632 - Cooran to Noosa Junction

Additional temporary service:

Route 064 - between Peregian Beach and Noosa Heads. For residents living between Peregian and Noosa, instead of catching Route 620, the temporary service, Route 064 (operated by Sunbus) is for you.

The Boreen Point Flexilink service and Noosa Council Cabs services will also be free from 3 to 12 April (normal booking procedures apply).

Generally, a weekend timetable will operate on most public holidays.

Timetables are available at www.translink.com.au or call 13 12 30.
