City advice
Getting around
Light rail and bus services run regularly in the area
Note: Myway cards are the method for paying for public transport travel in Canberra. Bus and light rail no longer accept cash fares to be paid to the driver. Myway top up kiosks are available at Light Rail stops, and many CBD convenience stores also offer Myway purchasing and top up services.
