The Chief is right. A little extra testing would have done a lot for a smoother start for MyWay+. But a week in, there’s still a lot more to do!
Fare-free Friday is fun, but it will be better services which gets more people onto PT.
Separately, we’re still concerned the QR codes are not good enough yet, and they shouldn’t be the first option when you open the MyWay+ app.
You can all relax, the money is back.
By now everyone has discovered their MyWay+ balance has zeroed out. Don’t panic, it’s not just you.
Today’s MyWay+ update from @Transport_CBR:
🆓 Fare Free Friday starts tomorrow: just tap on/off normally, and you’ll pay $0
🎫 Regular delivery times have returned for MyWay+ card online orders
📳 They’re still trying to fix the QR code issue

The Government promised buses every 20 minutes in the election campaign, now it’s time for them to tell us exactly when they’ll deliver.
Great motion from Greens Transport spox Andrew Braddock.
