New bus services across Melbourne’s outer suburbs are set to support the surging number of school students in growth corridors.

Public and Active Transport Minister Gabrielle Williams announced the $25 million project, and said it will help kids all across the outer suburbs.

“We are delivering more school bus services to strengthen our public transport network and to make sure our students get to school on time,” she said.

“Through Victoria’s bus plan we’re delivering a modern bus network that encourages more people to take the bus.”

Students at Greenvale Secondary College will receive two new dedicated school bus services operating from Meadow Heights and Greenvale West both before and after the school day.

The extra services will be introduced from the first day of Term 1 on Tuesday, January 30.
