Belconnen's public transport, cycling and walking guide

Why not leave the car at home this year and take public transport or walk, ride and scoot? It’s better for the planet, reduces your time spent in traffic and helps you save on parking fees.

Rapid bus services

Rapid bus services link town centres and other key destinations, running at least every 15 minutes between 7am and 7pm on weekdays and every 30 minutes at other times (including weekends). This includes three services (R2, R3 and R4) that get you from Belconnen Town Centre to the city in about 20 minutes.

Local bus services

Local bus services operate every 30 minutes or less on weekdays, connecting the region’s suburbs to local shops and the Belconnen Town Centre.
