The icon is a Gang Gang Cockatoo, which is a pretty cool bird and also the ACT faunal emblem.

From Tuesday 26/11 Canberra's bus and light rail services will begin charging fares again as they introduce a new ticketing system.

The new system allows users to tap on and off at a validator with a new MyWay+ transport card or certain contactless bank cards.

It also allows users to pay using their digital wallet or through a new app, but there is some set up involved in those payment methods.

The system includes a real-time journey planner through the Transport Canberra website and the MyWay+ app, which is available for both Apple and Android.

@Tau did it work this morning? It definitely didn’t on Tuesday when it was supposed to launch! 🤣

I have yet to try it out myself, public transport doesn't really work for my commute down here so I only catch it once in a blue moon. I did hear that the new system wasn't particularly functional on launch - one does expect a few teething issues but ideally you'd get more minor ones instead of the system straight up not working for people.
