(3) Will there be an additional fee for people who tap on with a credit card.
(4) Will MyWay balances be transferred when the current system is closed.
(5) Will there be a transition period during which MyWay cards and new cards will both be accepted.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Yes.
(2) Concession fare payers will be able to access reduced cost fares in the new system.
(3) The Territory continues with the current broader procurement process which is confidential until completed. Once that process is complete an announcement will be made with more detail on the system.
(4) During the transition between the old and the new ticketing system, there will be some changes to how passengers switch to the new system. This will be fully communicated closer to the time.
(5) See response to Question 4.
Transport Canberra—patronage
(Question No 2934)
Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for Transport, upon notice, on 21 February 2020:
(1) In relation to public transport patronage from suburbs served by regular public transport services, as measured by MyWay journeys, what was the daily average weekday patronage between September and November (inclusive) for (a) 2019 and (b) 2018, by originating suburbs.
(2) What was the daily average weekend patronage between September and November (inclusive) for (a) 2019 and (b) 2018, by originating suburb.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The table below (Table 1) sets out the daily average number of journeys on Transport Canberra bus and light rail services, originating in each suburb which were recorded by the MyWay ticketing system on weekdays, for the periods from 1 September 2018 to 30 November 2018 and 1 September 2019 to 30 November 2019.
All figures are rounded to the nearest whole number and exclude boardings for which an originating suburb cannot be determined (such as transfers by passengers using a paper ticket).
This data is based on the location of the bus or light rail stop where a person using a MyWay card taps on for the first time as part of a public transport journey. This means that it does not accurately reflect journeys made by residents of a particular suburb, as a person may walk, drive or cycle across a suburb boundary to get to their bus or light rail stop.
