Croydon Station’s new bus interchange has officially opened to passengers, boosting safety and improving travel connections for locals.
The 14-bay bus interchange, built as part of the new Croydon Transport Hub and Coolstore Road level crossing removal project, is one of Melbourne’s biggest interchange facilities, servicing 27 bus and school routes and with close to 3000 bus trips weekly.
While some bus routes transitioned across to the interchange last month, all bus services are now using the new interchange facility, which features a waiting room close to station toilets and myki machines, passenger information displays, seating and shelters at each bus bay, CCTV and extensive lighting.
Some bus routes and timetables have been updated to streamline services and better coordinate with trains at Croydon Station. Details are available on the PTV website.
Works to complete the station precinct are continuing, with the west station car park and Parkiteer set to open this month, and work continuing on building pedestrian connections and shared use paths, and planting more than 70,000 trees, shrubs and grasses.
