You need a myki card to ride our trains, trams, and buses. You must use this reusable travel card when you board and exit a public vehicle. You can purchase Myki cards at the airport, 7-11 convenience stores, or most railroad stations. After receiving your card, you'll need to load funds onto it so that you can travel. You can do this online or at a train station.
