The Macedon Ranges has a new and expanded bus depot.
Public Transport Minister Melissa Horne joined Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas last week to officially open Dyson’s bus depot in Kyneton.
The new depot will help Dyson’s deliver new and improved bus services. The services link communities in and around the Macedon Ranges including Kyneton, Trentham, Romsey, Lancefield, Sunbury and Gisborne.
In April, Kyneton’s bus services were expanded from three days to six days a week with extended hours of operation. A new bus service between Kyneton and Trentham was also implemented.
Ms Horne welcomed the new depot.
“We’ve made huge changes to bus services in and around the Macedon Ranges this year which is giving locals more ways to get where they need to go,” she said.
“More bus services across more days and with better connections to train and local destinations is making travel simpler for passengers.”
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the bus depot will also provide more jobs in the area.
“Public transport has been employing locals in our region for decades so it’s exciting to see Dyson’s opening a new and expanded depot in Kyneton to help deliver the extra bus services,” she said.
“The extra bus services we’ve introduced have opened new opportunities for our community by getting people where they need to go.”
