Chartered Buses and Drivers are welcome and encouraged at the festival. This is a great option as it means less traffic and a guaranteed responsible and alert driver to and from your campsite. However there are some protocols and tips you will need to observe to make this happen smoothly.

Another option to consider is to catch the special shuttle bus service operated by Butt Bus Lines which runs directly to the Meredith festival site. Note that this is the only mode of public transport to offer a direct service without having to change buses along the way.
They will operate services direct to the festival site on Friday 10 December from Southern Cross Station, Ballarat Station and Geelong Station. The cost is $40 per person return from Southern Cross and $20 per person return from Ballarat or Geelong. Butt Bus Lines will also run return services from the festival site departing on Sunday 12 December. Full details can be found here or please contact them on 1300 306 164.
