Tickets

You’ll need either a myki or paper ticket to travel on public transport in Melbourne and regional Victoria.

How to buy a MYKI card can be found here https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/tickets/myki/buy-a-myki-and-top-up/

You need a myki if you’re travelling on:

• Melbourne’s trains, trams and buses
• V/Line trains between metropolitan Melbourne and Eaglehawk/Epsom, Seymour, Traralgon, Waurn Ponds and Wendouree
• Buses within Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Seymour and the Latrobe Valley.

If you’re only travelling in the city’s Free Tram Zone, you don’t need a myki.
