About the study

Imagine if you could stay healthy just by catching the bus more often.

Being physically active is one of the best ways to stay physically and mentally well. Studies have shown that simply walking to and from bus stops can keep you more physically active.

The Get BusActive Study is led by The University of Tasmania’s Menzies Institute for Medical Research. We want to understand how to increase bus use and whether bus use improves physical activity. If you are eligible to participate and complete each part of the study, you will receive up to $100. And if you are assigned to the intervention group, you will receive other incentives and free bus travel.
