Community Feedback Shapes Greensborough Bus Services

The Allan Labor Government is rolling out more bus services more often in Greensborough, St Helena and Eltham North.

More frequent weekend services will be introduced later this year on Routes 513 Eltham – Glenroy via Lower Plenty and Route 514 Eltham – Glenroy via Greensborough, and on weekdays on Route 517 Northland – St Helena.

Feedback through consultation on the proposed FlexRide Greensborough identified a strong community preference instead for improving existing fixed route services in and around Greensborough, St Helena and Eltham North.

Improving services in Melbourne’s growing north-east is part of Victoria’s Bus Plan, the Labor Government’s long-term strategy to deliver holistic reform to the bus network across the state.

Since the launch in June 2021, the plan has already improved bus services in more than half of the state’s 79 local government areas, adding more than 5,800 services.

Further information on the improved services, including the new timetables, will be shared closer to the new services commencing in late 2025.
