History
On 3 August 1953, route 150 Palm Beach to Wynyard station was renumbered 190.[2] In the 1990s, route 190 services were renumbered as L90 to designate it was a limited stops service. Early morning and late night all-stops services continue to operate as route 190. Most services use high capacity articulated buses.[3] It was also extended from Wynyard station to Railway Square. In October 2015, this latter section was withdrawn.[4]
Route L90 is known for its ocean scenery along the journey.[5] It is also popular with hikers planning to walk from Palm Beach back towards Sydney.[6]
In March 2013 Australian diecast model company Transit Graphics released a 1:76 scale model of a Mercedes-Benz O305 bus operating on route L90.[7]
