The number of trips taken on Canberra's public transport system was almost 8 million under target in 2025-26, budget documents reveal, as the ACT government blames MyWay+ and fare-free days.

Only 12.7 million passenger boardings were recorded on Transport Canberra services in 2025-26, below a target of 20.3 million.
