Night Owl bus runs until April

A summer "Night Owl" bus service will operate on the Peninsula until April 9.

The service began on Friday, December 15, and will operate between Woy Woy, Ettalong Beach, The Entrance, Terrigal and Gosford.

The cost per trip is $5 with a security guard present on every bus.

Operating on Friday and Saturday nights from midnight to 4am, the service costs passengers for $5 each per trip, collecting passengers from late night venues, with a security guard present on every bus.

Additional services will be provided for the Australia Day long weekend and Easter.

The Summer Night Owl Bus service is funded by the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) and the Ministry of Transport, and is supported by Gosford and Wyong Councils and NSW Police.

Gosford mayor Cr Laurie Maher said the service "clearly saved many young people from potential dangers on our roads over the festive season".

Timetables for the Summer Night Owl Bus are available from Gosford Council and through participating venues.
