Transport & Vehicles in Molonglo - East
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
A short 9-minute drive to the city makes Molonglo - East very accessible, though it relies entirely on buses for public travel. While there are far more transport stops and departures per person than in the rest of the ACT, these services are concentrated in a way that leaves many residents with a long walk to their nearest stop.
Public transport access
Stops, services, routes and how far you can get by public transport.
Bus services are the only option here, with 250 stops per 1,000 people and 30,000 weekly departures—both figures are far above the ACT average. Despite this, only one public transport route and stop serve the area, meaning very few people can reach others via transit within 45 minutes.
