With so much happening in Canberra this weekend, why not take a free ACTION bus to avoid parking hassles and save time and money.
ACTION, in partnership with relevant event organisers, can take you to and from the AFL, Super Rugby and the ACTEWAGL Royal Canberra Show this Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
“ACTION passengers attending the NAB Challenge and the Royal Canberra Show can travel to and from the events for free by simply showing a match ticket or pre-purchased show ticket to the bus driver when boarding,” Minister for Transport and Municipal Services Meegan Fitzharris said.
“By showing your ticket, travel will be free all day on any bus when getting to or from both of these events.
“There are also free chartered buses running to and from the Super Rugby game this Friday night, making it even easier to cheer on the Brumbies.”
