myki options.
myki gives you the best fare for the way that you travel, and there are two kinds of 'stored value' you can have on your myki. They are myki money and myki pass.
myki money is a dollar amount you specify that's stored on your card. You don't have to think about zones or times, myki does it all for you and gives you the best fare for your journey. Fares are calculated according to where and when you travel - and capped to the applicable 2 hour or daily fare, so myki money is great for commuters and occasional travellers.
myki pass is a stored travel pass valid for a certain period (7 days or 28-365 days). You specify the exact duration of your myki pass - either 7 days or anywhere between 28 and 365 consecutive travel days. So if you know you'll be travelling regularly, you can store a myki pass on your myki.
No coins.
myki literally stores value for you. So you can use it cash-free to access all public transport in Victoria instead of carrying loose change.
No need to worry about zones.
myki takes the hard work out of travelling by public transport. Wherever you travel in Victoria, myki money will always know which zone you are in and calculate this for you.
Plan or be spontaneous.
With myki you can still plan your daily, weekly, monthly or yearly travel. Or you can travel whenever you like and myki money will always calculate the right fare for you, every time.
