Local information

Local transportation

The most convenient method of local transportation is by Unilink buses.

1. The easiest payment option is to Tap on/Tap off using any Credit/Debit card with contactless payment enabled. As long as you keep using the same card, the system will automatically charge the cheapest available daily fare. Remember to tap off before you leave the bus.

2. You can also purchase single fare or day tickets using contactless payment or buy pre-paid tickets from the Unilink Bus app.

Please refer to the maps below:

Ubers are also readily available. The local taxi company Radio Taxis is also reliable.
