  • It's a bit of a pain getting around Canberra because the bus services are few and far between. You may have to wait up to 2 hours at some bus stops. Taxis are too expensive to consider. The best way is to rent a car. The UBD Street Directory is an excellent street guide. Canberran roads are pretty easy to maneuver around anyway, because for the most part, Canberra has a pre-fab urban layout.

    Buses: A single bus to most of the Tourist sites

  • There are many things to see in Canberra but if you are not certain where to start for public transport check out the schedule for the 34 bus. This one bus takes you near many of the sites you must see (Parliament, Old Parliament, the Library, the National Gallery, Canberra Museum, the National Museum, Lake Burleigh Griffin, etc.) If you purchase your ticket after 9 you can buy a "shoppers ticket" good until 4:30 for only 3.50. It also takes you to three of the best shopping areas in Canberra (Woden, Civic, and Belconnen)

  • In Canberra City there is a free shuttle service called the Downtowner which runs from Monday to Friday from Platform 5 at the city interchange in Alinga Street. The route covers the main business and shopping areas.

  • We walked everywhere but if time is short, it is probably better to use the bus system which seems to go to all points of interest.

  • ACTION buses operates around Canberra. U can almost go around Canberra either by bus or by foot. Most of the tourist spots are accessible by walking. however, if u do want to catch a bus around canberra city, do drop by the ACTION info centre near the bus interchange to get all the schedule for the buses. normal one way ticket is AUD$2.40 for concession is AUD$1.30 one day ticket : 3.50 for adult and 3.oo for concession. the one day ticket entitle u to hop off and on the bus anytime u want !!! (the bus drivers are very friendly and helpful, therefore, u can easily ask them on the places that u want to go for a visit and the will direct u and even remind u to hop off the bus when the bus reaches the destination u want to go)!!!

  • Canberra Buses are cheap, convenient and EASY. Drivers are usually friendly and helpful, during the week buses are fairly regular and cover most of Canberra, on weekends the route numbers sometimes change and they are less frequent. www.action.act.gov.au

  • Canberra is a pretty well off place, so ironically, the bus system is pretty poor. ACTION buses have good routes and can get you anywhere at relatively little cost, but the buses run infrequently in the outer areas because of lack of patronage. However, to be fair, the buses that run between the major centres (Civic, Woden, Belconnen, Tuggeranong), are reasonably good. Beware! Sundays and later in the evening, you could get stranded.

    Buses: Airport Shuttle only on Weekdays

  • I cannot full-heartedly recommend the shuttle bus between the airport and the city as it only operates on weekdays. But when it operates it is really rather punctual - and even offers personal service. When I used it, it did not only service Bill Bryson's famous Hotel Rex but also made little detours for several passengers. I also found it quite amusing that the same driver - very friendly BTW - seemed to be working all the time. Perhaps the bus does not work on weekends because he also wants to spend some time with his family LOL The service is provided by Dean's Buslines. A single trip costs $7, the return ticket $12 (as 2007).

    Buses: Bus Service Gets difficult after Hours

  • If you have read my intro you already know that I had some problems with using the bus service to its full potential. The network seems perfect but it is of not much use if you want to get around outside the business hours. As there are never enough taxis around you should seriously consider to rent a car. Or make your sightseeing during business hours and stay at a hotel in the city centre, so you do not need transportation after hours. A single trip cost $2.50. Contact Phone 13 17 10 (from Canberra) or (02) 6207 7611 from outside the ACT Website: http://www.action.act.gov.au/ Email: action@act.gov.au
