Save our express bus- Koo Wee Rup to Southern Cross

Good news! The public outrage has lead to a backtrack, and we are keeping our bus.

As per the article from the "Koo Wee Rup Blackfish" March 2025 edition. 

As of July 1st 2025, the latest state budget will implement that the Express coach services from Koo Wee Rup to Southern Cross station will now be transferred instead to East Pakenham Station.

With already long commutes on public transport for South Gippsland passengers, this new plan will add about an additional hour of travel time to the journey to Melbourne. 

Travelling with suitcases on the V-line coach directly to Southern Cross made for easier journeys straight to the Sky Bus. This new route means having to take suitcases onto commuter trains and then getting to a Sky Bus terminal. 

Please sign this petition if you reject this change and wish to keep the express Koo Wee Rup to Southern Cross bus service. 

The minister in charge of public transport for Victoria is Gabrielle Williams.

You can email her at:

or  receptionminwilliams@transport.vic.gov.au

Let her know why the bus is important to you. Leave a comment on this petition with your opinion about the matter.
