Some commuters found they were unable to tap on and off their regular public transport routes this morning, with the ticket validator machines at some light rail stops displaying error messages.
Canberra 's new public transport ticketing system launched this morning — but not without several hiccups.
"Today's about everyone getting used to using the new system, tapping on and off with their credit and debit cards, and the concession card holders using their MyWay+ travel cards, or indeed, using the other payment options available linked to their account."The new MyWay+ system will allow users to tap on and off at a validator with a new MyWay+ transport card or certain contactless bank cards.
"Download the app, have a look at the functionality. Try using public transport, and I think people will find, over time, that it's a much easier way with a greater range of different options to pay."
