## What you need to check

This is for people with a Health Care Card, Pension Card, Veterans’ Affairs Gold Card or ACT Seniors Card. Travel is free on weekdays from 9 am to 4:30 pm and after 6 pm. It is free all day on weekends and public holidays. At peak times you pay a cheaper concession fare. ACT seniors aged 70 and over travel free at all times. Veterans with a TPI or EDA Gold Card travel free at all times too. You need to register your concession in a MyWay+ account or get a concession MyWay+ card.
