Transportation
This section explains the different ways to travel and commute, including public transport, driving, taxis, trains, and flying. Many migrants buy a car soon after arrival, so we guide you through the steps of purchasing a new or used vehicle. We also explain how to either exchange or attain an Australian driver’s license.
Buying A Car
There are many steps in buying your first new or used car in Australia. Knowing the process will get you started.
Public Transportation
Depending on where you live in Australia, public transport might include buses, trains, trams, light-rail systems, and/or ferries.
Getting A Driver’s Licence
Many migrants can simply show their national licence and receive an Australian one. Others must go through the full process of getting a licence.
Catching A Taxi
As in most countries, you catch (get) a taxi on the road by waving it down. You can also telephone for one to come and pick you up.
