    The Community Bus is a Mansfield Shire Council initiative designed to provide accessible and affordable transport for residents. The service aims to support community members by providing a convenient way to get to the Mansfield town centre.

    As our community grows we want to ensure this service continues to meet the evolving needs of its users. This engagement process is a key part of reviewing the service to identify potential improvements.
