Public Transport and Travel

Myki

myki is Victoria's new smart card ticketing system and replaces Metcard and V/Line tickets and paper tickets on buses in some regional cities. myki is a reusable plastic smart card that you store value on to pay for your fare on public transport.

If you currently receive the Disability Support Pension and have a Sunday Pass you will get a free concession myki in the mail. This will not occur until myki is fully operational in Melbourne so until then you should continue using your metcard and V/Line tickets. For more information on the Sunday Pass and an application form click here.

Access Travel Pass

Click here for information on the new Access Travel Pass which entitles a person with a significant and permanent disability who therefore can not use the ticketing system to travel free on metropolitan and regional trains, trams and buses.

To support introduction of the Access Travel Pass the Transport Ticketing Authority is offering to provide information sessions in major regional locations and metropolitan areas for individuals with a disability and organisations who provide travel training to their clients. If you would like to express interest in these sessions please contact Rosetta.Scisluna@transport.vic.gov.au

Companion Card

Click here for information on a Companion Card. This card allows a companion of a person with a significant and permanent disability to attend community venues and activities and travel on public transport for free as long as they are accompanying a person with a disability.

Helpful Hint

The Access Travel Pass and the Companion Card can be used together so that the companion and the person with a disabilty can both travel for free.
