Myki cards according to the crowd, in fact, there are several categories, such as children's cards and elderly cards. Here are only the most commonly used full-ticket cards. In the past, visitors can only use this card.) Myki card, the price of the card is that the AUD$6.00, needs to be recharged to use. Myki has been in Melbourne for a while, the card can not be refundable right now! So, when recharging, you should probably estimate how much you will use, this is a skill mental work. Because the card can not be refunded, so as not to lose money.
Myki card usage: Myki card is equivalent to traffic card. The way to use is to get on the bus, pay by card and get off and then pay by card. Sensors on trams, trains and buses show quotas when swiping.
Myki card purchase and recharge: railway station ticket window, 7 / 11 and other convenience stores, Myki stores and export retail stores, bus and train site storage machine Myki Machine. Card-selling places will generally have a prominent blue-and-yellow Myki logo, very easy to find. Then, the place where the card is sold can be recharged at the same time, and the amount is queried.
