myki equipment

myki machine

At a myki machine, you can:

• top up with myki Money
• top up with myki Pass
• view your myki status, balance and expiry date
• check when your 2 hour fare expires
• see your last 10 transactions
• buy a Full Fare, General Concession, Senior or Child myki smartcard.

You can pay with cash, EFTPOS or credit card. The minimum top up amount is $1, but we recommend topping up with at least a 2 hour fare so you have a valid ticket for your next trip.

If you use cash to top up with myki Money, the machine can't give change. If you use cash to top up with a myki Pass, the machine can give a maximum $10 change. The machine doesn't accept 5 cent coins so the cost of fares may round up to the next 10 cents. But you won't be charged more when you travel. Wait for ‘transaction complete’ before removing your card from the machine.

If you have trouble reading the screen, increase the contrast by touching the zoom button and switching to black and white.

You can find myki machines at all metropolitan train stations and some accessible tram stops and bus interchanges.

Mobile myki cannot be used with a myki machine.

myki gate

There are two types of myki gate - standard myki gates and next-generation myki gates. You'll find myki gates at all metropolitan train stations.

At a standard myki gate, you can:

• touch on and off
• view your myki Pass details or myki Money balance.

At a next-generation myki gate, you can:

• touch on and touch off, faster than with a standard myki gate.

If you’re travelling with children, you can touch on with up to 10 mykis. The gates will stay open until each person has gone through.

Mobile myki can be used with myki gates.

myki reader

At a myki reader you can see:

• your myki Money balance
• your myki Pass details and expiry date.

Touch on and off at myki readers to travel on trains, trams and buses. You can find myki readers at train stations and on trams and buses.

Mobile myki can be used with myki readers.
