Qbeyan Bus Service in Jeopardy Over Low Passenger Use
A new bus link between Woden and Queanbeyan faces possible cancellation due to low ridership. Since December 6 the service runs seven trips daily between Waren Town Centre and Queanbeyan with restricted Canberra area pickups, but only nine passengers have ridden so far, despite advertising and apparent need for a direct link. The timetable adjustments align with Kingston interchange changes, and the operator blames poor patronage for the uncertainty.
