Transport in Canberra

[9] In an effort to improve road safety, traffic cameras were first introduced to Canberra by the Kate Carnell Government in 1999.

[10] The largest public transport operator is the Government of the Australian Capital Territory owned ACTION.

From 1961 the new Russell Offices complex demanded a growing number of additional peak services, including feeders from the city.

This involved new bus timetables and driver schedules, based on regular services on all routes throughout the day with synchronised movements through the main centres.

In February 1977, a new system was unveiled and the operation renamed Australian Capital Territory Internal Omnibus Network (ACTION).

[12][13] CDC Canberra is permitted to carry passengers within the Australian Capital Territory, with the previous restriction being lifted in June 2012.

Walter Burley Griffin's masterplan for Canberra included a railway that was to run from Queanbeyan to the current Canberra railway station in Kingston then north along the causeway and over the Molonglo River to Russell, along Amaroo Street to Civic and then north out of the city along Lonsdale and Ijong Streets.

From April 1962 until March 1975 a through carriage was detached from the Spirit of Progress at Goulburn providing a connection with Melbourne.
