Transport
Public transport is limited to buses and because Canberra is
spread out, with meagre weekend services and no transport after
about 10pm, visitors are best off with a car. There is plenty of
parking at the tourist sites and the road system is excellent and
uncongested; to hire a car drivers must be 21 years of age and hold
a valid driver's license, sometimes in conjunction with an
international driver's permit. The Action bus company routes cover
most tourist attractions from four town centre bus interchanges:
City, Woden, Tuggeranong and Belconnen. A day bus pass is available
from bus drivers or the tourist information centre. Cycling is also
a popular means of transport in Canberra and there is an extensive
network of bicycle paths around the city. Taxi ranks are available
in most major areas of the city.
