The improved timetable aligns with the opening of the new bus depot in Woden, the largest electric bus depot in Australia, which is now operational.
Integrating the new Woden bus depot into the network will help improve the efficiency and reliability of Transport Canberra services as buses servicing the Woden region will no longer need to make their way from bus depots in Belconnen and Tuggeranong.
