Commuter bus services between Goulburn and Canberra?

A good bus service would be awesome

WOW!!! You are educated aren’t you? 🙂

I don’t usually get into forum/internet debates as it is completely pointless…but I have to say intolerance and judgemental attitudes are generally demonstrated by uninformed, over zealous individuals who seldom take the time to step outside their comfort zones to challenge paradigms.

Thanks heaps for the info…I do appreciate it.

Not talking about the OP here but I like how people buy in NSW being a tight arse, come to Canberra and take jobs then pump most of their money back into NSW.

Timetable isn’t set up for that. It’s all outbound to Sydney before midday then inbound from midday.

It’s a drag sometimes I know, especially around Lake George and Wollogorang. I travel to Goulburn regularly for the airport and every trip I’m just grateful that the road is how it is and not like 15 years ago

No bus like the Yass one but Murrays do once per day in each direction (their wollongong coach) and the greyhound bus that goes on to/comes from Adelaide used to stop there but unsure if it still does. Neither would be at convenient hours for most travellers or affordable on a basic budget.

Having lived in Sydney, the commute from Goulburn to Canberra is a piece of cake, assuming you are working in the city or northside.

About 90kms and a comfortable 50 minutes down the highway. Set your cruise control to 110kph and listen to an audio book and you are there before you know it.

You will see lots of people leaving Goulburn around 7am or so for the regular commute to Canberra.

Get a smaller LPG powered car and it will be as cheap as chips. I have a 2.5litre V6 on LPG and it works out at about $15 for the return trip. And, yes, I know that is $75 a week but I have family reasons for living in Goulburn (elderly parents) and houses in Goulburn are so much cheaper.

When I lived in Sydney, with a company car, I would regularly spend an hour each way to work and back. And an hour in Sydney traffic is much, much, more stressful than a leisurely 50 minute highway drive to Canberra.

There are a lot of folks that drive and many would rather car pool (or wear the cost of driving alone) than put up with a bus service that only runs a few times a day. At least there’s a bit of give and take with car pool buddies when you’re a few minutes late or if you all happen to be finishing early. With a bus, if you miss it, especially in the afternoon, you’re out of options.

And no it is not an option to reside in CBR.
