facilities throughout Canberra and the Australian Capital Territory. This bus
service runs on regular routes through Canberra and is pretty affordable. The

city- Woden, Tuggeranong and Belconnen. You can catch a bus from any bus interchange
or from any stop along the bus route by signaling the driver. Bus stops are
easily identified as they are marked by a yellow sign placed on a pole with
