Canberra, the capital of Australia, has a well-organized public transport system primarily run by Transport Canberra. Here's an overview of the options available:

1. Buses

• Operator: ACTION (Australian Capital Territory Internal Omnibus Network).
• Buses are the main mode of public transport in Canberra, connecting most suburbs, major town centers, and attractions.
• The Rapid Bus Routes (e.g., R4, R6) offer frequent, direct services between major destinations, such as Gungahlin, Woden, Belconnen, and the city center.
• Regular services are supplemented with school bus routes for students.

2. Light Rail (Tram)

• The Canberra Metro is a light rail service that runs between Gungahlin in the north and the city center (Civic).
• The service is modern, efficient, and designed to reduce reliance on cars in northern Canberra.
• There are plans to expand the network to other areas, including Woden in the south.

3. Ticketing System

• MyWay Card: The smartcard system for easy, cashless travel. You can top it up online, at ticket vending machines, or selected retailers.
• Single tickets are also available but are more expensive than using a MyWay card.
• Discounts are offered for concession card holders, seniors, and students.

4. Accessibility

• All buses and light rail vehicles are wheelchair-accessible.
• Dedicated priority seating is available for the elderly and people with disabilities.

5. Timetables and Real-Time Tracking

• Real-time bus and tram tracking is available through the NXTBUS system on the Transport Canberra website or app.
• Services generally operate from early morning until late evening, with reduced frequencies on weekends and public holidays.

6. Connections with Other Transport

• Canberra's public transport system integrates well with regional coaches like those provided by NSW TrainLink and Greyhound for travel to other cities.
• Canberra Airport is not directly connected by public transport, but shuttle services are available from the city center.
