Buses from Canberra to Sydney are back on the road as more coronavirus restrictions lift in the ACT from Friday.
Murrays Canberra to Sydney express service was suspended in April along with its Melbourne to Sydney and Brisbane to Toowoomba routes, amid COVID-19.
Drivers are gearing up to hit the road, although with health precautions in place, it won't be business as usual.
The announcement comes as further restrictions in the ACT are to be lifted from noon Friday, removing a cap on household gatherings and allowing groups of up to 100 inside and outside provided there is four-square-metres per-person.
