More ways to tap and go now being rolled out on buses
Contactless payments now available on trains and trams, and coming to a bus near you.
Following the successful switch-on of contactless payments across the myki-enabled train and tram network, contactless will now be progressively rolled out across buses that accept myki.
Full fare customers will soon be able to use a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card, phone or a smartwatch on any bus that accepts myki or continue to use myki if you prefer.
We will be switching on tap and go on buses from 19 July. Commencing in regional Victoria and selected metro areas. Tap and go will then be available on all myki enabled buses from 26 July.
Look out for the Visa or Mastercard symbol on the reader to check tap and go is ready to use. If you tap on with a card, phone or smartwatch, use the same method to tap off and complete your journey.
How to use tap and go:
- Full fare customers only (concession card holders should continue using myki)
- Mastercard or Visa
- Tap on with your credit or debit card, phone or smart watch, and be sure to tap off the same way
- Make sure you have enough money for your journey before you tap
- Take your card out of your wallet before you tap
- View your contactless travel history
Fares
Tap and go fares are the same as myki fares. Depending on your card provider and bank, it may take up to three days for payment to appear in your bank account. You may see a pending amount before your daily fare is calculated and confirmed.
Public transport in Victoria is half price until 1 January 2027. This includes concession holders.
To access half price fares simply tap on as usual. For more information visit transport.vic.gov.au/halfpricetravel.
