Coogee’s route 370 bus to Glebe Point will run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with 160 extra trips added to its weekly timetable.
What Changes for Coogee Riders
The new timetable starts on Sunday 15 November 2026, when Transport for NSW (TfNSW) rolls out its Eastern Suburbs changes. The 370 links Coogee with Glebe Point, and the government says the extra trips are aimed at university students and other passengers.
Route 343 between Kingsford and Circular Quay also moves to a 24/7 timetable, gaining 113 weekly trips. Both sit inside a statewide package of about 3,000 extra weekly bus services, announced on 4 November. How often overnight buses will run, and which Coogee stops they will use, hasn’t been published in the material reviewed for this story.
The 373 Heads Back to Circular Quay
Today, the 373 finishes its run at City Museum. From 15 November, it carries on to Circular Quay via Elizabeth Street. TfNSW says the extension gives passengers better access to the northern end of the CBD, and it adds 25 trips a week to lift capacity and peak frequency. In neighbouring Clovelly, the 339X express gains 54 weekly trips and longer morning and afternoon hours.
A Long Memory for Local Buses
Coogee has strong views on this route. State plans to cut south-east Sydney services in 2021 drew a loud response, and the 373 was among the services at risk. Randwick City Council voted to oppose the cuts that year. Coogee News later reported that the 373 was kept after nearly 9000 objections, and the council took its case to a parliamentary inquiry in 2022.
So what does this week’s announcement fix? Not everything. Nothing in the sources reviewed says the 2021 changes are being reversed across the network, so it would be wrong to call this a full return to the old timetable.
What the Government Say
Transport Minister John Graham said the package brings more frequent buses in growing areas, better links to other public transport and more services through the night. He said community consultation informed the changes. The government says the bus driver shortfall has fallen from about 500 to about 200 since it took office. It committed $200 million in July toward driver wages, but that money depends on unions and operators reaching a pay agreement.
A pay dispute is running at the same time and isn’t part of the service announcement. Rail, Tram and Bus Union members began work bans on 4 November. Local reports say further bans on buses leaving depots started on 5 November and are expected to continue indefinitely. TfNSW says buses are expected to keep running, though some trips may be delayed or cancelled.
The TfNSW notice covers the Eastern Suburbs but doesn’t list individual routes. According to a news report, about 2000 drivers are involved, and the union is seeking about 22 per cent over three years. The union says the two sides are close on pay but apart on casualisation. The operators are Keolis Northern Beaches, Transdev John Holland and Busways. Their responses weren’t available for this story, and the details here are current as of 6 November.
Planning Your Trip
TfNSW says passengers can already plan trips for the 15 November changes in the Trip Planner at transportnsw.info or the Opal Travel app. Check there for overnight times and stops before relying on them. While the work bans continue, look at live alerts before each trip.
