Greater Shepparton City Council’s Manager Neighbourhoods Amanda Tingay said with people out celebrating the new year, it was important there were options for people to get home safely.
“It’s the time of the year when we’re all out and about, having fun and catching up with friends at restaurants, hotels and clubs,” Ms Tingay said.
“The Street Rider bus service is a great way for people to get home safely after a night out and operates in conjunction with our other Community Safety initiatives including the Safer City Camera Network.
“Street Rider will operate from 1am to 5am Friday morning, picking up from the Hotel Australia, GV Hotel, Yahoo Bar and out the front of Harris Scarf on Wyndham Street and drop you off to your door in Shepparton, Kialla or Mooroopna.”
The service is coordinated by Council and Shepparton Victoria Police and is supported locally by the following businesses: Brown Baldwin Accountants, Community Accessibility, Quality Teams, Shepparton Rotary Club, The Fairley Foundation, Bullion Bar, Aussie Hotel, Yahoo Bar, The Vic Hotel, Southern Cross Media and Willprint.
Street Rider Night Bus can be contacted during operating hours on 0429 449 995 or for more information contact Council on (03) 5832 9700, CLICK to the GSCC website or visit the Street Rider Facebook page.
