myki is your ticket to travel on Melbourne trains, trams and buses, V/Line commuter train services and buses in Seymour, Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, the Latrobe Valley and Warragul.
The reusable smart card is easy to use. Simply top up before your journey and then touch on and touch off at a myki reader as you travel. You can buy and top up your myki at over 800 retailers around Melbourne and Victoria including all 7-Eleven stores, the ticket office window at Premium Stations and staffed V/Line commuter stations, from a myki machine located at all train stations and major tram and bus interchanges, online and by calling 1800 800 007 (6am - midnight). A full fare myki card costs $6 and a concession, seniors or child myki costs $3.
myki fares for 2025 are listed below. Fares have a validity of 2 hours, so you can change trains or from train to bus to tram within that time period without paying any extra. You may complete your final journey AFTER expiry of the time period as long as you boarded within it. There is however a daily fare cap of two 2 hour fares, or $11 whichever is less. This daily cap applies Statewide across Victoria.
Children less than 4 years old travel free and do not require a ticket, but all other travellers must have a valid myki. Concession myki fares (generally 50% of the adult fares) are for children/teenagers aged from 4 to less than 19 years, seniors card holders (60+), pensioners, asylum seekers, war veterans, war widows and widowers, school students, eligible tertiary students, Disability Support Pension and Carer Payment recipients, Health Care Card holders and DHHS Carer Card holders. To access concession fares, you must purchase a concession myki card and provide evidence of your entitlement to the concession. 17 and 18 year-olds must carry official identification to prove they are less than 19yo.
These fares also apply to paper or digital tickets for travel on long distance VLine trains and buses beyond the myki boundary. VLine paper or digital tickets to or from Melbourne also include travel on Melbourne metropolitan trains, trams and buses - simply show your ticket to the staff at the ticket barriers when entering or leaving stations.

Within the downtown Melbourne Free Tram Zone, all travel on trams is free, and no myki is required. The Free Tram Zone is prominently marked on tram stops with bright yellow and green signs, and onboard announcements are made when your tram is approaching the end of the zone. If you are travelling beyond the free tram zone, you must tap on as normal. No free travel is available on trains or buses.
