Commuters will enjoy safer and easier transport connections when Croydon Station’s new bus interchange opens next month.
The 14-bay bus interchange will officially open on Sunday 10 November and is set to become one of Melbourne’s biggest interchange facilities, servicing 27 bus and school routes and with close to 3000 bus trips weekly.
The interchange is being built as part of the new Croydon Transport Hub and Coolstore Road level crossing removal, which helped to make the Lilydale Line level crossing free in 2024, a year ahead of schedule.
As well as providing passengers with a safe and easy way to connect to Croydon Station, the bus interchange will offer modern facilities, including a waiting room close to station toilets and myki machines, passenger information displays, seating and shelters at each bus bay, CCTV and extensive lighting.
To minimise disruption and safely transition services from existing bus bay locations, the interchange will open in stages, with routes 664, 688, 689, 690, 737, 967, FlexiRide and school bus routes 2577, 3401, 3406, 3407, 3410, 3411, 3438 moved to the new interchange on Sunday 20 October. Bus timetables and operating hours will remain unchanged during the transition period.
All services will use the new bus interchange when it is operational from Sunday 10 November, with changes to routes and timetables to streamline services and coordinate with trains at Croydon Station.
Updated bus timetable and route information will be available on the PTV website from Friday 25 October.
When fully completed, the new Croydon Transport Hub will comprise the premium Croydon Station, rail bridge, bus interchange, 2 upgraded car parks with 284 car spaces, 3 new road connections, a Parkiteer and shared use paths, as well as more than 70,000 trees, plants and grasses in the station precinct’s new landscaped open spaces.
