6.7: ACTION Buses
Deliver improvements to bus services throughout Canberra. Other Information:
The ACTION bus network is a vital element in the vibrancy of our city and the accessibility of our neighbourhoods. For the
first time in 10 years, the ACT Government has undertaken a full review of ACTION bus services in Canberra, which included
comprehensive community consultation. As a result, a new ACTION bus network—Network 08—commenced on 2 June 2008. Network 08
delivers improvements to bus services throughout Canberra, including more buses, more often, on more routes. With an improved
route design and better connections, bus services are more predictable and reliable. The new network will be complemented
by improved bus lanes on busy routes and the opening of new Park and Ride and Bike and Ride facilities. New buses will be
energy-efficient and accessible, with an extra 100 to be bought from 2008–09 to 2011–12. Replacement of the Belconnen Bus
Interchange will improve passenger safety and comfort.
