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 the 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.

Many Metcard machines have now been removed from train stations. For more information, see Metcard ticket machine removal

Please note: Travelling without a valid ticket could lead to a fine. Remember to validate your Metcard at validating machines located at train stations and on board trams and buses.
