Make sure you tap off when get off the bus or light rail. The MyWay card reader will only let you tap off when the bus and light rail arrive at a stop. What does it cost? MyWay fares are incurred for each single trip and depends on whether the travel is during the peak or off-peak times (off peak travel is between 9 am – 4.30 pm and after 6 pm weekdays, all weekend and on public holidays).
