Melbourne is progressively making the switch to myki and myki can now be used on all metropolitan train, tram and bus services.The existing Metcard ticketing system can still be used and will run alongside myki for a period of time. You can switch to myki at your convenience.What is myki?
It is a durable, plastic smart card that stores value and can be used over and over again. Simply keep your myki topped up and carry it with you, and you'll always be ready to travel. Just touch on and off when you travel and myki will automatically calculate the lowest myki fare for you.You can top up your myki:
Touching on and touching off
Each time you enter a train station, tram or bus, you must touch on at the myki reader.Train and bus users need to touch off at the end of each trip for the lowest myki money fare. When travelling on a tram, you only need to touch off to get the lowest myki money fare if your whole trip is in Zone 2.
