From Monday 3 August 2026, we’re rolling out a bigger, more frequent timetable across the Northern Illawarra. That’s more than 83 extra services a week — around 10% more than we run today — with better connections, longer running hours, and a simpler network.
Here’s what’s changing at a glance:
| Route | What’s happening |
|---|---|
| Route 90 Austinmer to Wollongong |
Every 10–15 minutes during weekday peaks (7–9am and 2.30–6pm). Sunday services run every 30 minutes until 8.17pm, with the last service out of Wollongong at 9.17pm — more than double the services on our current Sunday timetable. Better connections with trains at Thirroul. |
| Route 91 Austinmer, Bulli, Corrimal to University of Wollongong |
Timetable updated to better align with university peak periods. Now the main route to UOW. |
| Route 92 East Bulli, East Woonona, Corrimal |
Twice as many Sunday services — now every 60 minutes, up from every 2 hours. Weekdays also lifted to hourly. Route will operate Bulli–Corrimal, with selected weekday school-peak services continuing to Wollongong. All other journeys to Wollongong will require you to change at Corrimal to the more frequent Route 90. |
| Route 93 | Will no longer operate. Use Route 91 for the university, or Route 92 for local trips (transfer at Corrimal for UOW). |
| School services | Changes across 9 schools. Some routes are being replaced by the more frequent Route 90 and 92 services. Visit our School Services page. |
What this means for you
- Commuters: More buses when you actually need them — early mornings, evenings, and weekends.
- Parents and students: Some school routes are changing or being replaced. Check your school’s page for the details that apply to you.
- Uni students: One clear route to campus on Route 91, better timed to your day.
- Sunday travellers on Route 90: More than double the current services, running every 30 minutes until 8pm with the last bus departing Wollongong at 9.17pm and the last bus departing Austinmer at 10.06pm.
- Sunday travellers on Route 92: Double the services — every hour instead of every two. Heading to Wollongong? A quick change at Corrimal puts you onto Route 90, which is also running twice as often on Sundays.
