The route networks operated by ACTION and its predecessors have evolved somewhat over the years. The articles in this section detail the bus routes that operated under these networks.
As normal bus services do not operate on Christmas Day, ACTION run free loop services on hourly frequencies between 9am and 4pm (with a gap between 12noon and 1pm). In addition to this, an Blue Rapid (300 route) service is also run, allowing people to connect to the services across town if required.
ommuter Express routes were essentially the old versions of what we know now as “Xpresso” services.
The following is a complete listing of bus routes operated by ACTION under its 2009 Bus Network. (more…)
The following is a listing of the proposed changes to ACTION’s Network in 2008 (more…)
Phase One of Network 08 commenced 2 June 2008. It comprised of the new Network 08 services on Weekdays and old Network 06 services on weekends until a sufficient number of drivers could be recruited to implement the new Network 08 services on weekends.
The major changes introduced with Network 06 were large cuts to frequency across the board. 40 minute frequencies were cut to 60 minutes. Flexibus was also scrapped and fixed night and weekend loop services returned. Nightrider and Christmas Day services were also renumbered, and a few peak Gungahlin services were cut. The Network was met with much criticism due to the service cuts. (more…)
