Public transport
The Department of Transport and Main Roads
The Department of Transport and Main Roads assists local government-owned transport operators, private bus and ferry operators, taxi and limousine companies and regional air operators to develop efficient, sustainable and flexible transport services. We also remove the barriers to access and mobility, and encourage smarter travel choices.
