Access to reliable transport is important for maintaining your independence and staying connected with your community.
This article covers some travel options to help you get out and about.
Planning your journey
Planning ahead can make getting out and about easier. You can use transport apps or Google Maps to check your route, travel times, and ways to travel before you leave.
Other free apps and websites can also help you plan your trip. For example, Dunny Dash can help you find public toilets along your route and check if they are accessible.
When planning your trip, you can also decide which transport option suits you best.
Public transport
Public buses and trains are available in every state and territory except the Northern Territory, where only buses are provided. Some states and territories also provide ferries and trams.
Public transport options in regional areas are often limited. In remote areas, public transport is generally not available.
Older people and people living with a disability pay reduced concession fares. Eligibility for concession fares varies, so it’s important to check with the relevant transport authority in your state or territory.
