Transport Canberra has announced today that the school holiday timetable will be implemented from Monday 18 December 2023 to Sunday 28 January 2024 inclusive.

The school holiday bus timetable will deliver the same reliable network and frequency that is currently in place while only removing the school services and diversions over the six-week period.

Free travel will be available on Christmas Day and from 5:00 pm New Year’s Eve for bus and light rail services.

Christmas Day

Other changes over this period include a special Christmas Day bus timetable. Light rail will run to a regular Sunday/public holiday frequency.

New Year’s Eve

On New Year’s Eve, a regular Sunday bus timetable will operate until 10:00 pm, followed by additional Rapid services scheduled after 10:00 pm (excluding the Rapid 8) to support the New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Light rail will deliver an extended timetable and increased services on New Year’s Eve. This will offer 10-minute frequency from 4:30 pm from Gungahlin Place until last service at 1:00 am, and 5:00 pm from Alinga Street until last service at 1:30 am.
