Did you know that more than 90% of Transport Canberra buses are equipped with bike racks?

Bike racks on buses each hold 2 bicycles with a maximum weight of 25 kg per bike, and are available on a first come, first served basis.

For safety reasons, both wheels must be fully inserted and fixed within the designated rack slots and both wheels must be in contact with the base plate.

Remember, to fit safely and securely in the rack, your bike needs to have:
• a wheel diameter of 510 mm (20”) to 736 mm (29”)
• a maximum tyre width of 58mm (2.3”)
• a maximum wheelbase of 1120 mm (44”)

Only bicycles that have two wheels and a single seat can be used on the bike rack.

For more information about using bikes on buses, including the full conditions of use, visit: www.transport.act.gov.au/travel-options/walking-and-cycling/cycling

There will be no light rail services from the first service on Saturday 4 July to the last service on Sunday 5 July 2026 due to critical construction works for Light Rail Stage 2A.

🚌 Rail replacement buses will be operating in both directions along the entire light rail corridor between Alinga Street and Gungahlin Place during this time.

🚶There are no impacts to regular bus services or diversions in the City for the duration of the works, with buses still be able to cross Northbourne Avenue at Alinga Street. There are no changes to the City Interchange or to the platform layout for the duration of the works. However, customers are encouraged to allow extra time to travel during this period.

🎓 Important reminder for all students across Canberra and all parents and carers.
MyWay+ student concessions expire on 30 June 2026.

To continue travelling on a concession fare, students need to revalidate their concession before it expires.
A MyWay+ account puts you in control of your travel. It’s the best way to save money, protect your existing balance, manage your travel and account details and continue receiving concession fares.
✅ Take action now to avoid paying a full adult fare.

🚨Test alert in the Molonglo Valley at 10:30 am on Wednesday 10 June 2026.

If you’re travelling around the Molonglo Valley at 10:30 am, you may hear a loud sound alert from compatible mobile phones, tablets or smart watches and a AusAlert message may appear on your screen signalling a test.

This is only a test and no action is required.

AusAlert is a new national warning system that uses the latest technology to send emergency messages to compatible mobile devices.

There are two levels of alert:
⚠️ Priority Alert
🚨 Critical Alert

So, what’s the difference? 🤔

⚠️ A priority alert is used when there is a high level of threat.
You can turn off notifications for Priority Alerts in your phone settings, and your device won't vibrate or make the sound if it is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’.

🚨 A critical alert is the highest level of warning.
Your mobile device will vibrate and make a loud siren-like warning sound for about 10 seconds, even if it is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’. You can’t turn off Critical Alerts.

A Priority Alert test is scheduled at 10:30 am on Wednesday 10 June 2026 near Molonglo Emergency Services Station.

If you are in the test area, or neighbouring suburbs including Duffy, Wright, Coombs and Holder, your mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert.

If receiving a Priority Alert might disrupt you or cause you or a family member to feel unsafe, you can choose to opt out. Find out more https://www.ausalert.gov.au/community-resources/staying-safe-ausalert
