Five new permanent bus routes are now operating across Western Sydney, making it easier for residents to travel to work, education, healthcare and the new Western Sydney International (WSI) Airport.
This uplift means since coming to office, the Minns Labor Government has delivered nearly 6000 new bus services in Greater Sydney.
The new bus services will connect communities in Penrith, Oran Park, Campbelltown, Liverpool, Mount Druitt and Leppington which have been under serviced by transport for decades.
Communities will benefit from buses running every 30 minutes from 5am to 10pm, seven days a week.
For residents in Penrith and Mount Druitt, the new Route 772 from Mount Druitt to WSI Airport via St Clair will deliver direct access to Mount Druitt Station, making it easier to connect with trains for work, school, university and appointments.
The service will also improve access to major retail and community destinations, including Westfield Mount Druitt, Bunnings Minchinbury and St Clair Shopping Centre
The new Route 790 from Penrith to WSI Airport via Kingswood will provide a direct connection to Penrith Station, improving access to the wider rail network and the Sydney CBD.
The route will stop outside Nepean Hospital, supporting easier access to health services, and will also serve Kingswood High School, TAFE NSW Nepean and Western Sydney University’s Kingswood campus.
Passengers will also benefit from convenient access to Westfield Penrith for shopping, dining and entertainment, as well as Penrith Golf Club.
To support the new services, the NSW Government is also investing in upgrading facilities along with the installation of new poles (known as B-Poles) and bus shelters across Western Sydney.
Progress continues on the $1.5 million trial Bus Shelter Program where selected Western Sydney councils will deliver more than 30 new bus shelters along the new and enhanced bus routes.
The rollout includes 43 new electric buses, offering a quieter, smoother and more comfortable ride, while supporting the NSW Government’s target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
This investment marks a major milestone in Sydney’s transition to cleaner public transport, with more than 400 electric buses now operating across the network.
It also represents another step towards the long-term goal of replacing the state’s diesel and gas bus fleet with new electric buses.
The NSW Government is investing $6.5 billion over ten years for thousands of new electric buses and electric bus depots to reduce our reliance on foreign fuels, meet the needs of the growing community and underpin a revival of domestic bus manufacturing.
The New Electric Bus Program includes the conversion of 17 existing depots to support the new electric fleet and the delivery of five new depots, including at Macquarie Park, in Western Sydney and at the Aerotropolis.
For more information on the new bus services, Transport for NSW invites the community to attend pop-up events at the following locations:
· Monday 13 July, 6am-10am at Liverpool Station
· Thursday 23 July, 6am-10am at Bonnyrigg T-way.

“The new 790 bus service will be a gamechanger for Penrith, giving residents a direct and convenient connection to the WSI Airport precinct.
“This is exactly the kind of practical transport investment our community deserves as Western Sydney continues to expand.
“It will also improve access to local jobs, training, healthcare and education facilities, helping residents get where they need to go more easily and supporting a better-connected future for Penrith."
