(3) No.
(4) Parking permits are limited to a three month validity period to enable bus travels to be validated. Previously this period was for one month.
(5) Having a travel credit on a valid MyWay card at the time of application is further indication of the applicant’s commitment/intention to travel on Transport Canberra buses.
(6) Prior to issuing a Park and Ride permit MyWay cards are checked to validate regular travels. If the data does not display regular travels the customer is contacted to question travel history and exceptional circumstances.
(7) MyWay cards are active for two years from the time of purchase. Applicants can purchase a MyWay card and apply minimal balance with an autoload to meet the requirement. Applicants are able to include a note in their application to explain exceptional circumstances. This is used when applicants have not travelled previously and there is no travel history at the time of application. $40 or more travel credit is required on a concession MyWay card or an autoload applied. $0 credit is required for Senior and over 70 travellers. This can be noted in the remarks at the time of application.
(8) No.
