MyWay+ changes to public transport
MyWay+ is a new ticketing system that has replaced MyWay.
You can no longer use your combined ACT Seniors Card/MyWay card to tap on and off public transport.
You do not need to order a new ACT Seniors Card. You can still use your existing card to access your other benefits.
For information about the changes and your options, visit Seniors - Transport Canberra.
