Myki is the ticket to travel on the city's trains, trams and buses. It's a plastic smartcard with stored value which can be topped up and re-used again.
Load currency on to your card to pay-as-you-go on all three modes of transport. You can do this online or at any any one of myki retail outlets located across metropolitan and regional Victoria, including all 7-Eleven stores.
Simply tap on at the beginning of your trip and tap off at the end to be charged the correct fare.
Melbourne is a cycle-friendly city with dedicated bike tracks and an impressive network of on-road bike lanes. No need to own a bike - take advantage of Melbourne Bike Share program as it is a great option for short trips across the city at low cost.
Note that riding without a bike helmet is illegal in Australia. You can purchase helmets for $5 from vending machines at Southern Cross Station and Melbourne University, and from select convenience stores.
Uber is a smarter, more cost efficient, safe way to get around Melbourne when compared to a regular taxi. You’ll need to download the Uber app to your smartphone and set-up a user profile including your credit card details. From there, you can use the app to book a car at the tap of a button. Best of all, Uber is cashless - your credit card is automatically charged - and there’s no need to tip.
