Get your MyWay Card

The easiest way to travel in Canberra on the Public Transport network is to pick up a MyWay card. MyWay is a prepaid ticketing system for convenient, easy travel at a discounted rate. These can be purchased and recharged at the UC Shop on campus, recharge agents, Access Canberra Service Centre or online or by phone. To obtain a student concession MyWay card, just complete the application form at the point of purchase.

Please visit https://www.transport.act.gov.au/tickets-and-myway for more information.

Alternatively, you may pay for bus trips with cash on board the bus.

Using your MyWay Card

Entering the Bus: Tap your MyWay car by waving it over the MyWay card reader located at the front and rear entry passage of the bus. Once the transaction registers, you will hear a single beep and see an on-screen notification. You can then proceed to find a seat or standing area.

Exiting the Bus: Once you reach your desired stop, tap your MyWay card by waving it over the MyWay card reader as you exit the bus.

NXTBUS

Transport Canberra's NXTBUS service tracks the location of your bus in real time. Every bus stop has an ID number. You can search for bus stop IDs on the NXTBUS website. NXTBUS can also tell you if the bus has a bike rack, easy access or is delayed or cancelled via SMS.

Bike and ride

Bicycle enclosures, lockers and bicycle hoops are located at many convenient places around Canberra, providing links with major bus routes. Access to bicycle enclosures is via a registered MyWay card. Most ACTION buses are fitted with a bicycle carrier on the front of the bus with space for two bicycles.

Park and ride

Park and Ride facilities allow users to park their car, and transfer to an ACTION bus. All Park and Ride facilities are well lit and most sites offer weather resistant bus shelters.
