myki pass or myki money?

myki will suit you, whether you are a daily or an occasional traveller.

Your myki can hold a myki pass (travel days) or myki money (a dollar amount) and if you want you can have both stored on your myki at the same time. If you have both, your myki pass will be used first and your myki money will only be debited if you travel outside your myki pass zone(s).

Choosing what is right for you depends on what kind of traveller you are.

myki pass is best for you if: you travel often or commute you normally travel in the same zone(s) you’re after the best value available for regular travel.   myki money is best for you if: your travel patterns vary and you want flexibility you like to pay as you go but still want good value.
