Tickets

You must have a valid ticket when using public transport. This ticket is called a myki pass and can be used to travel on Melbourne's trains, trams, and buses. The myki pass is reusable, and you can purchase one at any one of the myki retail outlets. It is important to 'top up' your myki before your journey and then 'touch on and touch off' at a myki reader as you travel. If you do not have a valid ticket when travelling on public transport you may incur a fine. For more information, please visit the Public Transport Victoria website.

Taxis

Taxis are available for booking or on request by calling Yellow Cabs 13 2227 or via Uber.
