North Stradbroke Island Bus Service

New Years Greetings & Appreciation

Stradbroke Buses would like to begin the New Year by wishing all our past, present and future patrons a safe, healthy and happy 2026.

This festive season has seen record numbers being transferred to the island; numbers that far exceed the capacity of the bus company to carry on one service.

Even Sealink & Stradbroke Flyer Gold Cats have needed to run extra services/boats to make sure everyone gets home:

We have 9 regular service buses on the island that can safely carry up to 65 people, not including space takers like bags, prams, fishing rods, surfboards etc.

Straddie Bus sincerely requests and appreciates everyone's patience and understanding that we are doing everything we can to meet the demand with the resources we are allocated.

Thank you.
