ACTION Easy Access Buses

ACTION now has easy access buses for people with reduced mobility. "Easy access" means there are no steps, so getting into and out of the bus is easier for everyone.

ACTION's bus fleet includes 99 easy access buses. Each of these buses is equipped with an extendable ramp, a wide front entrance, and space in the bus to accommodate wheelchairs or prams.

We have a teletype (TTY) service for the hearing impaired in our Customer Service Centre. Please call (02) 6207 7689.
