Free public transport for Victorians this summer



From the day the Metro Tunnel opens in early December for its summer start, public transport in Victoria will be free for everyone, everywhere, every weekend until 1 February.

That means every tram, every bus, every Melbourne train, every regional train, for every passenger – from the first service on each Saturday to the last service on each Sunday.

You won’t require a valid ticket or Myki to travel on these days.

Passengers will not be required to tap on or off with their myki and if a passenger accidentally taps on or off, they will not be charged for their travel.

Some regional services will continue to require a reservation at zero cost, in line with existing requirements.
