Notes

  • The 2017-20 Rapid Network proposal featured the Belconnen to Airport leg, branded as Yellow Rapid, and planned for introduction in 2020. Route R3 would be introduced in 2019, and extended to Spence.
  • The initial proposed route omitted Brindabella Park
  • Services to Spence temporarily diverted via George Tyson Dr and Brindabella Cct between CBR Airport and Brindabella Park during late 2019/early 2020
  • The route was modified through the City from 5 January to 1 February 2026, due to construction of Light Rail Stage 2A.
  • The route was modified from 2 February 2026 to operate only between Belconnen and the Airport, with the Spence to Belconnen leg replaced by Route 013 (2026).
  • This change was expected to remain in place for the duration of the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge Renewal Project, but in May 2026 it was announced that the R3 would resume running its full length from between Spence and the Airport from 20 July 2026.
