No matter where you live in Victoria, it costs you the same amount to travel. The most you’ll pay is the same as a $11.00 metropolitan daily capped fare.
For shorter regional trips, it will be even less.
And with weekend saver discounts, travel on Victoria’s regional network on weekends and public holidays, your daily fare will currently only be $7.60 or $3.80 concession.
Save even more with a myki Pass.
Fairer regional fares will help ease household budgets, meaning Victorian families can focus on what matters—travelling for work, holidays and events.
More Victorians will now be able to explore and discover the diversity and wonders of our great state and support the businesses and tourism operators who make it so.
It means that travelling by V/Line, local trains, buses or trams—no matter where you are in Victoria—will be accessible and affordable for everyone
If you’re a regional commuter who uses a myki Pass (either a 7-day pass or a 28–365-day pass), your fare will be the same as the Melbourne Zone 1+2 rate.
Get out and enjoy the best of Victoria.
It’s never too soon to plan your next trip.
Plan ahead and consider travelling during less busy times to avoid the crowds.
Take advantage of fairer fares to:
Finding a spot to park your car at the train station isn’t always easy.
Why not ride a bike, get a lift or walk to the station instead?
All V/Line train stations beyond Wendouree, Waurn Ponds, Raywood, Goornong/Huntly, Seymour or Traralgon— including Albury, Bairnsdale, Shepparton, Swan Hill and Warrnambool—use paper ticketing rather than myki.
For long-distance travel to or from these destinations, you need to make a reservation before your travel.
Most regional coach services also require reservations, so we can manage passenger demand.
Plan ahead at PTV
Make your reservation at V/Line, your nearest station or ticket outlet, or call 1800 800 007.
Stations such as Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Seymour and Traralgon all use myki, so there’s no need to make a reservation.
But sometimes you might need a paper ticket.
A few tips to get you started:
If your myki Pass daily rate has reached the daily fare cap, you can travel to regional areas outside of your purchased zones at no extra cost.
If your myki Pass daily rate is below the daily fare cap, you can still touch on and off with your myki and use myki Money to pay the additional fare for your travel.
All V/Line stations are accessible for customers with mobility aids and most of our trains can be accessed via conductor-operated portable ramps. Most V/Line coaches have a lift and an allocated space for customers with mobility aids.
Please note there will be disruptions to V/Line services throughout autumn, with coaches replacing trains on sections of a number of lines. The works are temporary as we invest in public transport across our state, and in the meantime, we’ve introduced fairer regional fares because the sooner you start saving, the better.
