myki now valid on trams and buses
Victoria’s new public transport ticketing system, myki, will be valid for travel on Melbourne’s trams and buses from Sunday 25 July, Public Transport Minister Martin Pakula announced on Thursday. Melburnians can now choose to pay their fare across Zones 1 and 2 using myki or Metcard.
Over the coming week, card vending machines and myki check machines at large tram stops and major bus interchanges will be turned on and myki devices on trams will phase out the CitySaver ticket but passengers can still access this fare with a Metcard. People will be able to get a myki online or via the call centre and at Southern Cross Station. Work is now underway to prepare for the roll out of myki retail agents.
This step by step introduction started with regional town bus services, metropolitan trains and now trams and metropolitan buses.
