Nominations for the 2026 Queensland Bus Driver of the Year Awards are now open!

If you’ve had a great experience with one of our Whitsunday Transit drivers, we’d love for you to take a moment to nominate them.

It could be a driver who is always friendly and welcoming, has gone out of their way to help, or simply makes your regular bus trip a better experience.

And you don’t need to know their name to nominate. Just provide the route, where you got on and where you got off, along with what made that driver stand out to you.

✨ Whitsunday Transit at the Mayor’s Ball – Whispers of the West

On Saturday, 25 July 2026, Whitsunday Transit was proud to attend and support the Mayor’s Ball – Whispers of the West. 🤠✨

Our Operations Manager, Ian Paczensky, and his wife Nathalia, were joined by Chris and Jade for a fantastic evening celebrating our wonderful Whitsunday community.

It was a fantastic evening filled with great company, celebration and community spirit, and we were honoured to play a small part in helping everyone enjoy the night safely.

A big thank you to the organisers, fellow sponsors and everyone who attended and made the Mayor’s Ball – Whispers of the West such a memorable evening!
