Suburban Railway Journeys

Melbourne



Melbourne has an efficient public transport system which utilises a smart card ticketing system called Myki. In order to travel on trains, trams and buses in Zones 1 and 2 including V/Line services to Melton and Sunbury, you must have a pre-paid Myki card. Tickets can not be purchased on board trains, trams or buses. Myki cards can be purchased at major railway stations with manned ticketing offices or from Seven-Eleven (7/11) stores. Myki is also available on Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula, Seymour and Warragul town buses and Latrobe Valley intertown buses.




Sydney



Sydney’s city and suburban areas are serviced by a railway network operated by City Rail that is pushed to the limit at peak times, but operates efficiently at other times. Train services across the metropolitan area run from around 5am (7am Sunday) until around midnight seven days a week on 11 lines which operate along and out of six major rail corridors. Some NightRider bus services operate outside of those hours. Later services also operate out of the city on Friday and Saturday nights.

To catch trains, buses, ferries and light rail in Sydney and surrounding areas you will need an Opal card or Opal single ticket. The Opal network covers all of Sydney, north to Newcastle, west to the Blue Mountains and south to Wollongong and the Southern Highlands. If you are taking more than one trip on public transport, using an Opal Card is the most convenient and affordable way to pay for your fares. Simply tap on and off as you go.
