          Noosa via Eumundi, and Route 631 Noosa to Nambour via Cooroy and Eumundi.

     •    Timetable legibility
     •    Evening services
     •    Size and style of buses.


2.       Initiative: Park & Ride

The three dedicated Park & Ride locations included:
   • Noosa AFL grounds
   • The J – Noosa Junction
   • Noosa Junction – various car parks including the opening of the “bowls club” car park

These locations were promoted through Park & Ride directional signage and were all
serviced by free buses with a frequency of 15 minutes or less.

Noosa Junction Park & Ride was serviced by all of the free bus services. The Noosa AFL
grounds and The J Park & Ride was only serviced by the 065 Go Noosa Loop service.

Additional internal signage was used to direct people to various car parks within the Noosa
Junction. The timed parking closest to the Transit Centre was adjusted from 2 hours to a mix
of 6 hours and 30 minutes parking to allow people to Park & Ride.
