Melbourne Busway Lane Project

ongoing

Melbourne, Australia, gets first dedicated Melbourne busway, built as part of North East Link – slashing travel times and delivering more services, more often to the north eastern suburbs. The Doncaster Busway is a Victorian-first, fully separated, high-speed bus route that will run from Doncaster to Victoria Park. Buses will be able to travel up to 100km/h unimpeded by traffic, slashing travel times by up to 30 per cent. The project includes two separated bus-only lanes, direct access to and from Doncaster Park and Ride, and connection to the Victoria Park precinct. The project also provides more parking for commuters, with the opportunity to build a future Park and Ride in Bulleen. The project is part of the Labour Government’s Streamlining Hoddle Street project, aiming to provide time savings and increased reliability for bus commuters on Melbourne’s busiest bus route.
