Fuel prices are rising and it’s putting households under pressure.

That’s why the Allan Labor Government will deliver one month of free public transport from Tuesday 31 March.

That means free trains, trams and buses – metro and V/Line – every day until the end of April, for everyone.

This is a temporary measure to help all Victorians now – it’s not permanent.

We will monitor the situation over the month and keep working on new solutions to help with cost of living.

Why

Free PT for a month eases pressure at the pump.

It will make it more affordable for people to choose public transport.

And it helps those who have to drive by getting more cars off the road.

This won’t solve every problem, but it is an immediate step to help Victorians right now.

How it works

During the free period, passengers won’t have to touch on with their myki – all myki gates will be open.

Machines won’t charge if you accidentally touch on.

Myki pass holders can contact the call centre at 1800 800 007 to pause their pass for a month, or get a refund.

While people travelling on V/Line coaches outside the myki network will need to book a free ticket to secure their seat, you will not need a ticket to travel on trains outside the myki network.

We expect trains, trams and buses to get busier – but we are better able to meet that demand because Labor has expanded our transport network and added thousands of extra services.
