Transport for NSW has developed the new bus network based on consultation with local communities and by working closely with Armidale Regional Council, Uralla Shire Council and Edwards Coaches.
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Jenny Aitchison said the boost to services would "improve community wellbeing by helping people more easily access health, education and jobs".
