A number of ex-ACTION Buses are have been purchased for restoration or preservation by community members.
Having spent 25 years in the ACTION Fleet, Bus 717 was acquired by the Canberra Transport Museum in 2021.
One of three ‘fossil fuels’ buses, Bus 967 was withdrawn from service in 2020, after 28 years in the ACTION Fleet.
ex-ACTION Bus 108, a Renault PR100.3, was acquired by the Canberra Transport Museum in July 2020 for preservation.
675 was acquired by community members in January 2012.
Bus 670 was purchased from Interline for the purposes of being restored to its ACTION condition.
With a fleet of over 430 buses, ACTION has to look very closely at two important factors; that of keeping operating and maintenance costs at the lowest possible levels without sacrificing efficiency, and public acceptance of its services.
