Excerpt from website:

The next major phase for MyWay+ is about to commence from Friday 20 September ahead of the next generation ticketing system going live this November.

Bus and light rail services will continue to operate as per the scheduled timetable and frequency, however people will not need to pay during the transition period to MyWay+.

A fare free travel period was always planned as part of the MyWay+ transition. We didn’t want to try and run two systems at the same time given it will take at least 6 weeks to fit out the whole bus fleet and install new ticket machines at locations such as along the light rail alignment.

Travel will be free - The MyWay ticketing system will no longer be available. Travel on buses and light rail will be free. Customers will not be required to tap on and off during this fare free travel period.

    Sorry, typo!

    I edited that part of the description out anyway, because I grabbed better information from the Transport Canberra website.

    At the rate other infrastructure projects go here, 2027 seems realistic.
