Anzac Day Bus Services

You could just do what most people do and drive. And really if it is a such a special day, why are you planning on wasting it by drinking so much you can’t drive? Or is it un-Australian to be sober on a national holiday?

Bus drivers get enough crap to deal with at the moment, why should they have to be at work before dawn to drive you somewhere so you can drink and party on with your mates. They might want to enjoy the public holiday as well!

Canberrans should be encouraged to view Anzac day as more than just a day off work. To this end, Action should run a regular timetable to rememberance services and clubs throughout the day. Moreover, surely each Digger who requires it could be provided with two cab vouchers so they can get to the War Memorial (and pub afterwards !) ?

Belray, I hope you and your mates enjoy your reunion

While I can’t find any mention of this year’s ANZAC Day services, it’s incorrect to say “they can’t even put on a couple of buses for an event of national significance”. They ARE putting buses on, just (maybe) not from Gungahlin.

But even if there was a bus, it would depart from Gungahlin Town Centre. You would still have to get to the Town Centre before the crack of early to catch it. So how would you get there – drive? In which case, why can’t you drive to Belconnen?

It is the same for diggers who live out southside. I know that some sports clubs do provide their own transport to and from the services for diggers, so check the clubs out at Gungers.

But it is beside the point, actgovco should be providing something more substantial, it seems they will only provide a “service” when it suits them not when the public of the ACT needs it. You could try emailing/phoning chiefly and his muppets to try and get some action but I feel you would be wasting your time – you would possibly get more action by going to the media and one of the shows such as A Current Affair or Today Tonight and blasting actgovco there, those shows love this sort of contoversy.
