Melbourne is progressively making the switch to a new ticketing system called myki. While this is happening you will notice two types of ticketing equipment on the train, tram and bus networks.

You can choose to use either Metcard or myki to travel on Melbourne’s trains, trams and buses. The existing Metcard ticketing system can still be used and will run alongside myki for a period of time. 

People with Metcards will have ample opportunity to use them before the Metcard system is turned off. During this time the number of myki sales and top up outlets will gradually increase.

There will be an extensive public information campaign about when Metcard will end and how to exchange your Metcard for a myki, however you are encouraged to use any Metcards you may have during the transition period.

View myki for information about how to get your myki.
