Bundoora Square Bus Routes 382 and 566 Update Saturday Schedules
Saturday services on routes 382 and 566 now carry updated times for shoppers and residents heading to the centre.
How we reported this
The Bundoora Square Shopping Centre stop on Plenty Road received a fresh Saturday timetable published on 18 July 2026, listing departures for bus route 382 toward Whittlesea beginning at 07:28 and route 566 toward Lalor Station at 07:51.
Residents rely on these services to reach the shopping centre and nearby stops without private vehicles, especially on weekends when other options thin out. The update arrives as more people plan local errands around fixed bus times rather than guessing arrival windows.
Stops within walking distance
Commuters can reach the main stop from Settlement Road/Plenty Road tram stop number 66 in an eight-minute walk, or from St Damians Primary School on Settlement Road in nine minutes. Grimshaw Street on Plenty Road sits eleven minutes away on foot, giving several access points along the same corridor.
Bus routes 382, 566 and 902 all serve the immediate area, while tram route 86 runs to Bundoora RMIT and a rail replacement bus operates toward Greensborough. First 566 services begin at 06:33 on weekdays, with the last departures at 22:03, according to the same public schedule.
Practical steps for riders
Travel times from nearby points show the 566 or 382 taking 39 minutes from the Peacock Inn Hotel area and 30 minutes from Fawkner Bingo Centre. Longer journeys from Mernda Central P-12 College average around 50 minutes by bus.
