FREE public transport for under 18s, and seniors on weekends be available from 1 January 2026.

Families will be able to save up to $755 a year per child (the cost of a yearly student pass).

The new youth myki can be used like any other myki, to tap on and travel through ticket gates at stations and when getting on a bus or tram.

Seniors will also have more freedom on weekend public transport, with the area they can travel for free extending from two neighbouring zones, to the whole state.

Passengers with a senior myki will need to carry their Seniors Card while travelling and use their Senior Myki to touch on and off as usual – but myki cards won’t be charged.

Cardholders will continue to be eligible for a 50 per cent discount off the full fare on weekdays.

To be eligible for a Seniors myki you must have a Victorian Seniors Card.

Victorian Seniors Card holders must be permanent residents of Victoria, aged 60 or over and work less than 35 hours a week.
