Notes
Peak is before 9am, and between 4.30pm and 6.00pm
Off-peak is between 9am and 4.30pm, and after 6.00pm.
Free 90 minute transfer applies for single trips
Daily fare caps apply only if all rides are tagged on and off – default fare will apply when rides not correctly tagged on or off
Default fare for failure to tag off does not apply if the passenger tags on to another bus within 60 minutes of boarding the previous bus
Student weekday fares only apply on non-schools days.
A further 5% discount will apply to single trip fare if the MyWay card is topped-up using direct debit or BPAY; discount does not apply to daily cap or default fare.
As of April 2021, fares have not increased since January 2019.
In 2024, Transport Canberra will launch a combined ticketing system and real-time journey planner which will be known as MyWay+. But how did we get here and why has it taken so long?
