This R U OK? Day, we're launching a fantastic initiative that will soon be catching the eyes of riders aboard Brisbane's Bayside and Redland buses.Team members, including drivers and office staff, will don vibrant shirts as part of #FunkyShirtFridays, a fun initiative aimed at sparking meaningful conversations about mental health in partnership with workwear label TradeMutt. The fun colours serve a powerful purpose: they help promote TIACS, a mental health counselling service supporting tradies, truckies, farmers, and blue-collar workers.Managing Director of Transdev Queensland Mark Thatcher said: “You definitely can’t miss these shirts - and that’s the point! We hope they encourage chats between our drivers, customers, and colleagues, helping to strengthen the connection between our teams and the communities we serve.”Look out for our team in their funky shirts and feel free to strike up a conversation - you never know where it might lead!
