History of the Noosa Free Holiday Buses
The Noosa Free Holiday Buses commenced Christmas / New Year 1999/2000 as a park & ride service, shuttling passengers from the Noosa Australian Football Club in Weyba Road to Hastings Street, in an effort to reduce traffic congestion in the busy Hastings Street precinct.
Due to increasing demands on the shuttle service and the transport infrastructure, over the years, the free service has been increased to include all local Noosa bus services for all passengers throughout the Easter long weekend, and from Boxing Day for approximately 12 days each year. Additional services are also provided from Peregian to Noosa Heads (servicing the Peregian community which was not serviced by the free local services), and two additional services from Noosa Junction to Tewantin to cater for the influx of people in the local area.
Since inception of the program, passenger numbers have grown considerably, with in excess of 50,000 passengers utilising the service over a 10-day period.
The Noosa Free Holiday Buses are jointly funded by Sunshine Coast Regional Council and Tourism Noosa, and delivered in partnership with Sunbus and TransLink.
