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.

    Phone 13 17 10 (from Canberra) or (02) 6207 7611 from outside the ACT

    Buses: Buses from Sydney

  • There is a direct bus service from Sydney international airport to the centre of Canberra. You may aks about timetable at the tourist office at Sydney airport. Buses leave in front of the building of the airport. The trip takes about three hours and there are not many things to see on the way - just fields and sheeps.:)

    It is important, however, to fasten seat belts in the bus. In Australia every seat has belts. Buses are quite comfortable, with toilet and some brochures about the region.

    I travelled from Canberra to Sydney on a bus operated by Murray's Coaches during my visit to Australia in April 2006. I believe this is Australia's largest coach company.

    I caught the 9am bus from Jolimont Centre bus terminal, which arrived at Sydney's Eddy Street bus terminal (right by central station), just over 3 hours later. At the same time as my bus departed, another bus (which stopped at Sydney's international airport en route to Eddy Street) was also departing. The first bus of the day leaves Canberra at 7am. Further buses depart at 1pm and 6pm. There is also a bus that departs at 3pm on Fridays and Sundays.

    In the opposite direction, buses depart for Canberra from Sydney's Eddy Street bus terminal daily at 9am, 1pm, 3pm and 6pm. There is a bus at 7:30pm on Fridays and Sundays.

    The cost of a one-way journey, as at April 2006, was 36 AUD. Concessions and children's tickets were available for 29 AUD.

    The company's website advertises one-way tickets for just 15 AUD. These must be purchased:

    - at least 2 weeks prior to departure,

    - via the Internet.

    You can find detailed timetables for coaches operating between Canberra and Sydney HERE

    No entertainment or refreshments were available on board, but this wasn't a problem for a relatively short journey of 3 hours.

    I used the V/Line Capital Link Service to travel from Melbourne to Canberra during my visit to Australia in April 2006.

    This service is partly by train and partly by bus.

    The first leg of the journey is a 4 hour train ride from Melbourne's Southern Cross station to Bairnsdale (via Sale).

    The second leg of the journey is a 6 hour bus ride from Bairnsdale through Lakes Entrance, Orbost, Cann River (refreshment stop of 30 minutes), Bombala and Cooma, before stopping first at Canberra's Kingston train station and then finally at the much more centrally located Jollimont Centre bus terminal.

    The cost of the entire journey was 62.70 AUD as at April 2006.

    This service operates on Mondays and Thursdays only.

    There is also a daily service, known as the "Canberra Link" which runs along a less scenic route via Albury.

    Buses: shuttle bus from airport to bus interchange

  • the shuttle bus is very convenient. It brings u from airport directly to the bus interchange in front of City Walk hotel (if u are staying there) or just a few minutes walk to Canberra Backpackers(if u are staying there).

    Cost: AUD$5.00

    however, beware that the shuttle bus does not operate on weekends...so the only alternatives are getting a cab. the cab will cost u about AUD$23.00 to reach the bus interchange or the door of City Walk Hotel !!!
