Staying COVID Smart on public transport

COVID-19 health restrictions have eased in the ACT.

Passengers on bus services can now board from both the front and rear door entrances, and the front seat by the bus driver is now available to passengers.

Wearing a face mask on public transport is encouraged, but is not mandatory.

Passengers on bus and light rail services are asked to be ‘COVID Smart’. Being ‘COVID Smart’ is doing the simple actions and behaviours you do already - often without thinking twice or batting an eyelid.

Make COVID smart choices on public transport by:

• Wearing a face mask if you can. ACT Health continues to encourage people to wear a mask where it isn’t possible to maintain a safe physical distance.
• Staying home if unwell and not travelling with us if you have any COVID-19 symptoms (*Note: whilst not preferred, people can travel with symptoms if they have no other means to get to a testing facility. More information on the ACT Government COVID website)
• Practicing good personal, hand and respiratory hygiene
• Using your MyWay card or a pre-paid ticket (we aren’t accepting cash)
• Spreading out on board and at stops and stations where you can

You can also travel at quieter times of the day.
