What’s Happening?
Queenslanders are being invited to recognise bus drivers who turn ordinary trips into better experiences.
That could be a driver who helped someone in need or consistently offered excellent customer service. A nomination gives passengers a simple way to thank someone whose actions made a positive difference.
Why It Matters
Public transport depends on drivers who provide safe, reliable and customer-focused service across the state.
Recognising that effort shows how thoughtful actions and dependable service can matter to passengers.
Local Impact
Nominations have already arrived from every corner of Translink’s network, showing that people across Queensland are taking part.
Together, these stories reflect the important role bus drivers play in the lives of Queenslanders each day.
Key Details
- The nomination campaign has entered its final week, leaving only a short period for new entries.
- Submissions close at 11.59 pm on Sunday, 6 September 2026.
- Each nominator enters a draw offering ten pre-paid gift cards, with each card valued at $150.
Zoom In
Customers can nominate without knowing the driver’s name by sharing their experience through the Translink website.
This keeps the process open to passengers who remember the service but cannot identify the driver.
Zoom Out
The annual Queensland Bus Driver of the Year Awards celebrate drivers and teams responsible for public transport services statewide.
This approach allows positive service from any part of Translink’s network to receive recognition.
What To Look For Next?
During the remaining days, more passengers may share stories about drivers whose help or consistency improved an ordinary trip.
Each nomination can help that service receive the recognition it deserves. Nominate HERE
