Our Route 7 Halswell-Queenspark service is set to become even more convenient, thanks to an increase in frequency from late April.

The service will run every 10 minutes from 5.30am to 6.30pm on weekdays and every 15 minutes outside of those hours, starting from Monday 28 April.

There will be several closed and temporary bus stops along Halswell Rd due to the road improvements currently underway and estimated to take two and a half years. These will impact Route 7 passengers as well as some other routes that use Halswell Rd.

Please take note of the signs installed by contractors at the closed stops, directing you to the nearest stop/temporarily placed stop. 

Please safely signal to your bus when it approaches, especially if visibility is restricted. We apologise for any inconvenience.
