Transport & Vehicles in Throsby
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
Only 1.1% of homes in Throsby have no motor vehicle, a figure well below the national average. This heavy reliance on cars is reflected in the daily commute and a public transport network that is much smaller than in other parts of the ACT.
Vehicles
Motor vehicles per home, and homes with no car.
