The Snowy Mountains Bus and SMS alert services will return this year to ensure snow lovers can make the most of the ski season. Transport for NSW Executive Director Operations Management Craig Moran said tickets are on sale now for the popular Snowy Mountains bus service, which will operate every day from Saturday June 7 to Sunday October 5.

“The service started in 2021 and continues to grow in popularity, with 93,000 passenger journeys completed in 2024,” Mr Moran said. “With services now connecting the Cooma, Berridale and Jindabyne townships to Perisher, Thredbo and the Skitube at Bullocks Flat, it is easy to see why uptake continues to rise.”
“This year, buses for the Snowy Mountains Bus Service have been fitted with state-of-the-art vehicle tracking technology via the Transport Connected Bus program. Passengers can view the real-time location of their buses using the Trip Planner website, Opal Travel app, or via some third-party transport apps.”
Also returning this year is the SMS alert service to keep motorists informed when temporary road closures are in place on Kosciuszko Road or Alpine Way, once parking availability at Perisher and Thredbo reaches capacity. Introduced in 2024, the service also proved popular with close to 1500 people signing up for the alerts.
Tickets for the Snowy Mountains Bus Service include free all-day parking at The Station Resort, complementary access to the Park and Shuttle Bus and entry into Kosciuszko National Park. Early bird discounts on adult season tickets are available until the end of June which will see passengers save 10 percent off their season ticket.
Snow goers only doing the second half of the season can save up to 30 percent off their pass with the half-season ticket on offer from August 1.
