Discover a whole new world… In the City. Canberra

Taxis

As well as the normal taxi service the City has Nightlink.

Nightlink taxi is designed specifically to get people who have taken part in city nightlife, late on Friday and Saturday nights home quickly and safely. Nightlink consists of larger taxi vehicles capable of seating at least six passengers. The service carries people travelling in the same direction in a ‘ride sharing’ arrangement. The Nightlink taxi service is an ‘on-demand’ service that cannot be pre-booked.

This innovative taxi service has been developed by the Department of Territory and Municipal Services in partnership with Aerial Consolidated Transport and the Australian Hotels Association of the ACT.

The Nightlink taxi service is ideal for patrons who are happy to share a taxi with other people travelling in the same general direction. Just go to the Nightlink rank and report to the taxi rank marshall who will arrange your trip. The taxi’s route is determined by the location of passenger drop-off points, with the driver deviating from major roads only to drop passengers at their door.

To use the Nightlink service on your own or with a partner or a friend, you will be required to wait until other passengers going in the same general direction are organised by the marshall to share the taxi.

The service operates during the warmer months of the year, on Friday and Saturday nights midnight – 6am from: East Row (on the west side of the City), the rank will display a Nightlink sign at both sides of the rank.

More information on the service will be available here as it comes to hand.
