myki money

myki money is a dollar value you store on your myki to pay for your fare whenever you travel. myki money fares are based on Value Metcard fares, so you are always paying less than the individual ticket price.

With myki money, you do not have to think about times or zones, because the correct fare for your trip is calculated after you have touched on and touched off. Fares are calculated according to where and when you travel, and the correct fare is automatically deducted from the myki money balance. 
 

In addition, daily caps apply for travel. These reflect the maximum fare charged for unlimited travel in a zone(s) within two hours or a day. See myki fares tables for more information.

Note: To guarantee automatic correct fare calculation for a trip, you must touch on and touch off correctly. Otherwise, you may be charged a default fare.

With myki money you need to keep a positive balance in order to travel. You can check your myki money balance any time:

• on any myki machine
• on any myki check

Coming soon:

• at the MetShop (near the corner of Swanston and Little Collins streets)
• at staffed railway stations.

If your plans or travel habits change, you can use the myki money on your myki to buy a myki pass.
