The Grove launches on-demand shuttle bus on 16 May
Whether it’s getting to the station or dropping the kids off at school, getting around is about to become a lot easier with the relaunch of The Grove’s on-demand FREE shuttle bus service. Funded by Frasers Property and operated by Wynbus and The Routing Company, the shuttle service will allow residents of The Grove to easily connect with the Tarneit train station, schools, shopping centres and other local amenity.
