Youth
Choose the myki that best suits your eligibility and travel requirements.
myki types for youth
Youth are eligible for different types of myki, depending on age:
- Children (4 and under): travel free and don't need a myki
- Youth (ages 5-17 inclusive): travel free with a Youth myki
- Young adult (18): if you are 18 or a tertiary student, you can get concession fare.
Youth
Young people under 18 can travel for free on Victorian public transport with a Youth myki.
Buy at staffed stations, or register online by creating or logging into a myki account.
Young adults
18 year olds can get half-price fares using a Child myki, or Concession myki (see the 'youth' section).
Tertiary students may get discounted fares when they travel.

Contactless Payments and Youth myki
Transport Victoria has recently rolled out contactless payment options across the tram network and at train stations where myki is accepted.
Contactless payment is currently available for full fare customers only. Youth myki card holders should keep using their Youth myki for free travel.
If you do accidentally tap on with a phone or bank card, wait around 30 seconds and tap off with the same device so you are not charged. If you make a mistake and been incorrectly charged you can contact the Transport Victoria Contact Centre on 1800 800 007 to discuss reimbursement options.
