July 10th, 2026Tap And Go Rollout Expands To Regional Victoria

Tap and go technology coming to every train station across Victoria.

Whether you’re catching the train from Bairnsdale, Wangaratta, Albury, Shepparton, Echuca, Swan Hill, Maryborough, Ararat or Warrnambool, you’ll soon be able to tap on with your bank card, phone or smartwatch.

Works are underway to install 108 new myki readers across 37 V/Line stations that currently require a paper ticket or eTicket.

The readers will be switched on later this year, allowing passengers to tap and go at every train station in the state.

Passengers travelling on V/Line services will still be able to reserve a seat where reservations are available.

Passengers who have not reserved a seat can purchase an unreserved fare at their station with tap and go.

Anyone travelling who would prefer to use a physical myki card will be able to do so.

Concession passengers, seniors and those under 18 should continue using their concession or Youth myki.

Victorians have already embraced tap and go, with more than one million trips made using a bank card or smart device since it launched last month across the myki-enabled rail network and on trams.

More Victorians are leaving the wallet at home, with four in five of those trips made using a phone or smartwatch.

The rollout will continue later this month, with tap and go expanding across myki-enabled buses.
