Fares will increase as of 1 March 2022 due to the ongoing high cost of fuel resulting from significant price hikes in recent months.

MyCiTi fares are reviewed and adjusted at the start of every financial year (1 July) in response to the latest cost projections for providing services, including the price of fuel.

However, the annual council-approved tariffs also require that fares must be increased or decreased during the financial year where there are significant and sustained fuel price changes. The tariffs for each financial year therefore include different sets of fares that apply for specific increases and decreases to the fuel price. This protects passengers from paying too much when the fuel price decreases substantially, and protects the City from ongoing losses when the fuel price increases substantially.

The required conditions have now been met for a mandatory increase to MyCiTi fares effective from 1 March 2022.

Despite these changes, MyCiTi fares remain comparable to other public transport services and modes, which have also experienced fare increases in recent months.
