Touching on and off
Remember to touch on every time you board, unless you're just travelling in the city’s Free Tram Zone. View theFree Tram Zone map.
Touch off as you get off the bus or exit the train station to pay the lowest fare. You only need to touch off on trams when your trip is entirely in Zone 2.
If you’re travelling on Night Coach, touch on at the myki reader at Southern Cross Coach Terminal. Touch off at regional train stations or on the coach.
