Fares & Tickets

 

This year is the beginning of a time of transition in fares and ticketing in Victoria.


Early in 2009, the first public trials of the myki ticketing system will get underway on town bus
services in Geelong; the first necessary step before a wider rollout of myki across Victoria.


A number of important changes are being made to the Metcard ticketing system during 2009 to

further encourage bulk purchase, including the sale of value Metcards (such as the 10x2 hour and 5x Seniors Daily) onboard buses and the increased availability of the 5xSeniors Daily from train station ticket machines.

This latest change builds on the foundations already established over the last five years, such as integration between V/Line and metropolitan ticketing, the integration of Nightrider into the Metcard system and discounted off-peak travel (such as the Sunday Saver and Early Bird).

 

There’re two types of tickets and they’re the following:

Short Term tickets

Long Term tickets
