The four routes identified in Table 2 use indirect routes which take in multiple suburbs and locations between Woden and the City. For example, the Rapid 6 service travels from Woden via Garran, Narrabundah, Griffith, Kingston, Barton and Parkes before arriving at the City.

When light rail commences on Canberra’s southside this will be closely integrated with the bus network. This is expected to see a range of bus services continue to operate between Woden and the City.
