A bus network covering the city centre and most surrounding suburbs provides public transport. Until June 2015 they were operated under the umbrella of the [[Geelong Transit System]]. [[Public Transport Victoria]] contracts [[CDC Geelong]] and [[McHarry's Buslines]] to provide Geelong's bus services and bus services to [[Torquay, Victoria|Torquay]] and the [[Bellarine Peninsula]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mcharrys.com.au/McHGTS.html |title=Geelong Transit System |work=[[McHarry's Buslines]] |access-date=2007-12-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071122183219/http://www.mcharrys.com.au/McHGTS.html |archive-date=22 November 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all}}</ref> V/Line services link Geelong with Ballarat, [[Daylesford, Victoria|Daylesford]], Bendigo, [[Apollo Bay]], the [[Great Ocean Road]], the [[Twelve Apostles]] and Warrnambool.<ref name="viclink" />

Taxi services in Geelong are provided by Geelong Taxi Network, a newly formed depot following the effective merger of Bay City Cabs and Geelong Radio Cabs in July 2007.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thegeelongtimes.com.au/news/View_Item.asp?task=edit&id=108 |title=2 into 1 Geelong taxi service |work=Geelong Times |date=2007-05-02 |access-date=2012-05-14 |archive-date=14 March 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110314042120/http://www.thegeelongtimes.com.au/news/View_Item.asp?task=edit&id=108 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
The majority of the network covers the city and suburban areas of the city, with "urban" classification for the vehicles in use. The [[Bellarine Peninsula]], and Torquay areas, although part of Geelong Taxi Network, are both covered by separate "country" classification taxis. Often, disputes occur in regards to different taxis from one licence area, picking up work from either of the other two licence areas, which is illegal in most circumstances under current taxi regulations in Victoria.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/article/2008/09/25/18765_news.html |title=Move to Ban Bellarine Taxis in Geelong |work=[[Geelong Advertiser]]}}</ref> Call centre and radio dispatch services for the new combined network are provided by Silver Top Taxis in Melbourne.
