Question 1

Why do I need to register for a free service?

Accepted Answer

The Anzac Day ceremonies are well attended commemorative ceremonies where parking and road closures in and around the Australian War Memorial is restricted on the day. Transport Canberra’s free bus services will assist in reducing these pressures. Register to ride helps gauge expected attendance.

Question 2

Does registering to ride guarantee me a seat on the bus?

Accepted Answer

By registering to ride passengers are selecting to ride with Transport Canberra buses to the Anzac Day Dawn Service and/or National Commemorative Service which includes the RSL ACT Branch Veterans’ March. This includes both seated and standing positions on the bus.

Question 3

Is ‘Register to Ride’ only for the Anzac Day Dawn Service?

Accepted Answer

No. If passengers are attending either the Dawn Service or National Commemorative Service which includes the RSL ACT Branch Veterans’ March, they will need to register to ride. If passengers are going to both ceremonies they will need to register separately.

Question 4

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Accepted Answer

On the day, passengers will need to arrive 10 - 15 minutes prior to departure and present their printed or electronic ticket to Transport Canberra staff at their selected event pick up location. Tickets are not transferrable for other locations/times. Buses will depart at the advertised times.

Question 5

Are tickets to the event unlimited?

Accepted Answer

Bus services to the Anzac Day ceremonies are limited. Registering to ride will be available from Friday 11 April 2025, at which time passengers are strongly encouraged to register to ride to the event. Please note tickets are not transferrable for other locations.

Question 6

Is there a limit on how many tickets an individual can register to ride to either service?

What if I don’t have access to the internet to register?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

What if I arrive on the day without registering for the bus services?

Accepted Answer
