Tap and go next month

Tap and go technology will roll out on the Bairnsdale line next month.

From September 20, passengers will be able to tap on with a bank card, phone or smartwatch at stations along the Bairnsdale line.

Works are underway to install 106 new readers across 37 V/Line stations which previously required a paper or eTicket.

Once completed, passengers will be able to tap on at every train station across Victoria, as well as on trams and myki-enabled buses.

Passengers who have not reserved a seat for long distance services can purchase an unreserved fare at their station with tap and go.

Anyone travelling who would prefer to use a physical myki card will be able to do so.

Concession passengers, seniors and those under 18 should continue using their concession or Youth myki.
Half-price public transport fares will continue until the end of the year.
