Get ready for myki
 A new ticketing system, myki, will be introduced later this year on Melbourne’s public transport network. People will now be able to choose how they manage their myki.
There are two different ways to use a myki – either buying a myki pass or using myki money.
A myki pass is like a monthly or yearly ticket but is more flexible. Customers can decide which zone they will travel in and how many days they want to travel for. This can be seven days or anywhere between 28 and 365 days.
Meanwhile, myki money operates like putting credit on a pay-as-you-go phone. Credit is stored on the myki and when customers touch on and off, the system gives them the best available fare for their trip. myki money can be topped up anytime by any amount.
You can also have both myki pass and myki money on your myki. The benefit of having both on your myki is that you do not need to think about which ticket to buy. The system will automatically choose a myki pass or myki money fare based on how you travel that day, so you'll always receive the best fare.
