Notes

  • The route was initially proposed to operate between Cooleman Court, and Canberra City Police Station (City East)
  • At commencement, services to the City terminated on London Cct opposite the Police Station, while services to Woden commenced at the corner of Marcus Clarke St and Farrell Pl.
  • In July 2020, services to the City terminated at Alinga and Marcus Clarke Streets, and services to Woden commenced at City West.
  • Route ceased travelling via City West loop from 18 July 2020 in preparation for Light Rail Stage 2 construction, and route was modified through Canberra Hospital due to construction.
  • The route was modified on 3 December 2022 to travel via Vernon Circle and Constitution Avenue due to the raising of London Cct. It resumed operating via London Cct, and the new at-grade intersection with Commonwealth Ave on 18 May 2025.
  • Route altered on 30 January 2023 to commence/terminate at ANU, to service the temporary Woden Interchange, and to travel via Ainsworth and Hindmarsh Drive (replacing Route 57) instead of via Yamba Drive and Launceston St (replaced by Route 57, Route 72, Route 76, and Route 77.
  • The route was modified in June 2025 to operate via Easty St due to the closure of Callam St for construction.
  • The route was modified from 31 August 2025 to travel between Woden Interchange and Canberra Hospital via Launceston St and Yamba Dr (instead of Callam/Hindmarsh/Ainsworth/Kitchener/Yamba) and to service the new stop outside the former Emergency Department entrance on Bateson Rd.
  • The route was modified from 31 October 2025 with access to Woden Temporary Interchange via Callam St (north) and Matilda St.
  • The route was modified through the City during January 2026 due to construction of Light Rail Stage 2A.
  • The route will be extended to Belconnen from 2 February 2026, to help replaced reduced frequency on Route R2 (2019).
